MY THYROID REMOVAL SURGERY STORY! HOW I RECOVERED, NERVES, AND MORE! Sensational Finds 

I just did my own on the 9/5/23 and came out today on the 9/6/23 I pray for healing over myself and others who going through the same thing

She started to tear up as soon as she started talking about her husband...... thats what i want for my future 💖

In December I lost my favorite person to thyroid cancer, my grandfather. I'm still struggling with grief so I know how scary this is. Sara, God is in control and whatever is going on, do not submit to it! He is stronger and more mighty than any cancer or any issues going on. You are BRAVE! Believe me when I say I am praying for good things in Jesus name! Love you girl!

I had a full Thyroidectomy in January. They found 2 thyroid nodules, and they diagnosed me with Hashimoto's Disease. One of the nodules was suspicious so they did a biopsy and they diagnosed me with Thyroid Cancer (Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma). I had to do radioactive iodine for my treatment. Thank you for posting this video! It doesn't make me feel that I'm the only one. I wish you the best of luck on your recovery!! :)

The fact that you still went out of your way to make this video for all you viewers says that your very dedicated to your viewers and that's awesome!!!!hope you have a speedy recovery 💕just had gallbladder surgery 3weeks ago and GIRRRRL I know the feeling your talking abt when they put the breathing tube in,it was soo uncomfortable afterward.

I had a total thyroidectomy. 1 week after the operation, i am doing well, but i am not doing any straineous activities. This surgery made me aware of my body chemistry and how the operation affected my usual activities. Thank God for good doctors :)

I am very nervous for my wife's upcoming thyroidectomy. She wants me to stay home with our newborn but I really want to be there in the hospital with her. She has been breastfeeding and she is anxious about having that disrupted. Please be praying for wisdom and success with her surgery. Hearing your story helped me understand what I can do to be there for her before and after and what she may go through. Thank you so much for sharing.

so thankful to see that you're ok. seeing you tear up about your husband also made me cry. I'm getting married in Nov and it's so beautiful seeing a happy loving couple in today's world ❤ God bless.

Watching because my sister just went thru this same surgery and I have so many questions but I know she’s in recovery. Thank you for posting this! I pray all has been well ❤

I'm 40 years old and I just had my thyroid removed. I had my entire left side thyroid removed and 75% of my right thyroid removed. I had a goiter. My surgeon said that my left thyroid was really hugh and wrapped around my airway and espoghages as well. I'm type 1 diabetic as well. We will see how this journey will go. I'm glad that you're doing well.

Thank you for sharing your experience I just had my thyroids removed yesterday I definitely minimized the pain I thought I would be in. I hope I feel better by the Fourth day like you. My husband is being so supportive also it’s nice to see the people by our sides in times of need.

Oh girl, I sent you a private message a little over a year or so. That I noticed a big lump on you're throat. You never messaged me back so I figured you were okay, I don't know if you remember. I myself had my thyroid removed back in 2004 so to papillary cancer. I got my entire thyroid removed. I didn't need to do radiation or anything of that nature. Hope you recover soon.

Thank you for sharing. My son , age 29, has cancer on his thyroid and they are going to remove it. So hearing your experience makes me feel better. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Glad you are doing well! Love what you said about paying attention to your body! You are a big encouragement even with just sharing this:) big hugs! xoxo

My mom went through it. It was very difficult for 6 months with many defficiency like calcium, potassium and magnesium. She stayed in only in hospital for 1 month, however after 7 months everything is going good, we filmed many videos in the process to keep her entertained and create memories but now she goes to work and feels very normal. Don't worry, it will be fine for you.

Thanks so much for your post. I just had my thyroid removed 10 hours ago . I know how you feel. My husband took me and I love him so much for his support . Thanks for sharing.

You Brave Beautiful Girl............I know this video is old but it doesn't take away anything from the courage you had during the experience!! Congrats........and thanks for sharing your sweet message for all those who are going through something similar or ANY KIND OF PAINFUL surgery in general!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful message.

Hugs and prayers for a speedy recovery and good news from the doctors! I had a similar surgery when I was 12 (I had a cyst on my thyroid) I still get questions about my scar (I'm now 30) it will be a new normal for you, and also a part of your amazing testimony 🙌🏾❤️

Thank you for this video.. I just had a total thyroidectomy on the 22nd of this month. So far my throat is fine, but it feels like a big lump. It's hard, and I seem to be breaking out from the hormone replacement under my neck and on one shoulder. I stayed overnight. My calcium level was low but they got it back up. I also seem to be sweating alot under my chin and neck. There's a clear fluid coming out. I'm just super nervous about it all. I'm glad I had it done, because I also had a mass deciating my trachea. I couldn't breathe, and got winded easily. Just praying it will be OK, and things will heal properly❤

Thanks for the video. I'm having my thyroid removed next week. You've eased some of my anxiety.

Out of all my surgical procedures, I have to say having my thyroid removed was the roughest. I've had a hysterectomy and a c-section and others, but this one was rough. I am assuming it has quite a bit to do with the location. I chose to have the entire thyroid removed because I did have a previous cancer (note hysterectomy surgery) consideration so decided with already being medicated because the thyroid wasn't working, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, there was no reason to keep it. If there is an organ that isn't working and it could kill me (cancer) I want it out. All tests were done and cancer was ruled out but still I opted for removal. Thank God I listened to my body like you did, labs came back positive for papillary carcinoma and is the most common of the thyroid cancers out there. Because my entire thyroid was removed I had to stay overnight in the hospital so my calcium could be monitored because the level can drop dangerously low after thyroidectomy procedures. I am so glad I did spend the night as I was able to better utilize pain management in the hospital instead of being stuck in my home in that kind of pain. That was almost a year ago now and I still am being very careful on sun exposure. I actually found a stick sunblock for new tattoos that has been a great little carry along to just swipe across the remaining scar. I have used coconut oil as a topical once the incision was healed to help work out any 'bumps' in the scar. I still do not have my voice back 100%, meaning singing wise, it is a bit scary when I get to singing along in the car and my voice squeaks or cracks or suddenly becomes a deep base. lol But I was warned about that part too. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are doing MUCH better!!

I'm here because I'm preparing for my surgery now and the minute I heard Penn Med I was so excited because I would love to hear from other Philly ladies lol. I know it's two years later, but I hope you are doing well :)

Praying for a full recovery. You can already tell a big difference in your neck. We love you girl.

Just did my thyroid surgery yesterday,I wish myself a quick recovery 🙏

Thank you for being so raw and sharing with us!!! You are a beautiful person- inside and out!!! I've been watching you for a long time now, and you're always so positive! Best of luck with everything! Love from AZ! 💞💖

I had my full thyroid removed I’m glad that you are okay but can you do a update three year update with this

Ketogenic or keto diet should balance everything. I've been on it for over a year! So good to see you up and filming and on the other side of the surgery. ❤️

Thanks for posting ur journey, I was in tears when u started tearing up. I have graves disease and I've already got that feeling of rocks and a basketball in my throat. I am having a total thyroidectomy next week. So excited not to happy about the iv or leaving my husband for a night :(

You look wonderful for 4 days since the surgery! I'm so glad your husband was there for you; it's sweet the way you talk about him. The numb/tingling feeling is normal... that should dissipate over time, but may take a little while; check w/ your doc when you see him (I'm a Medical Asst by the way). Not surprised you felt very tired and sluggish; surgery, let alone being "intubated" and being put under is a shock and trauma to the body. Give yourself time to rest and recover. Be well and take care of yourself... so happy you're doing better! Hugs and kisses!!

I had my thyroid out in 2001 and the numbness sensation you're feeling I did too but eventually it came back. Please keep on your doctor to monitor your levels, I had about half mine removed and I now have to take synthyroid. The endo I had said I didn't need to be on it but here I am today taking .112 mcg a day. Your thyroid controls so many things in your body.. I'm sure you have the best doc, I'm only mentioning from my own experience. Hope you're felling better.

Fish, Nuts, Whole Grains, Fruits, Veggies, Seaweed, Milk & Beans are all great for your thyroid. Bless your heart, I almost started crying along with you when you were talking abt your Hubby. That's exactly how I feel abt mine. I hope you heal quickly! TFS! ~ Nona

Ohhhhh, my heart goes out to you with how you felt after surgery. Rest up & feel better, have a relaxing weekend

So so happy you are doing well and recovering!! So brave of you to share it all with us!! I'm sure this was of benefit to somebody watching your channel, and may be having the same surgery or some sort of surgery.... thank you for sharing your surgery experience with all of us!! 🙏 praying you continue to heal quickly! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Praying for your continuing recovery and health. God is good!

I'm so Happy to see you right back to normal, THANK GOD ALL WENT WELL....Thanks for the UPDATE.... kam

Thanks for telling us your story. My daughter has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and right now the Endocrinologist is just keeping a close watch. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I am glad you are doing well. I have had 15 surgeries so I understand how you felt. Big Hugs & Continued Blessings

I'm happy that you are well and your husband was there for support. Happy healing!

So happy to hear that your doing better...you made me cry too when you expressed your husband...lovely. You have such a loving heart and soul. Always remember you are amazing in all that you are and do.

I understand your feelings about your husband. I had my tonsils removed and waking up was the worst but my husband was right there on my chest when I did awake. Now my thyroid is huge. A surgeon told me at least the right side would need to be removed. I didn't get it done. So now there are a couple of masses above it. I guess I will have to get it removed. I hope you are doing well and thank you for sharing.

You look great for it to be day 3 you inspire me to get mines done because I was petrified I thank you and good luck on the rest of you throat journey 🙏🏾💜

Anesthesia... sometimes it's harder to recover than that than it is the actual incision. I had a bunch of surgeries back to back, and it messed with my memory bad. It took almost a year for me to regain function. So glad you feel better. :D Love your videos.

So glad you're doing well ❤❤

Glad you're doing well, my husband had thyroid cancer and is a 5 year survivor of it. You are so right about paying attention to your body, if something isn't normal get it checked and don't brush it off.

My mom had hers removed from Graves' disease and her scar is lower sorta like where a necklace would lay . Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I have thryoid nodules and cysts and have had two biopsies and thankfully NO CANCER. I thankfully don't need surgery right now, but this video was so informative and made me feel better about the procedure if I need it.

You did fantastic wowwww I can already see the reduction on your neck. I have Graves for the last 15 yrs so I know about the thyroid issues. Praise GOD for bringing you to and thru!!!! My recommendation because i live holistically is to eat clean non processed foods no soy nothing fried and tons of green tea and water. Sending you love and light...

Hey Sarah! Im glad you are recovering well. This made me cry girl... It takes nerves a long time to recover. If u are feeling anything at all then the nerve is fine.

I will be praying for you to have a speedy recovery and for everything to come back cancer free. I was just diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer on July 18. I go for a total thyroid removal Aug 8. Thank you for posting how surgery went and how you feel. I'm nervous and seeing your video helps ease my mind. 🙏🙏🙏

Glad your surgery went well. I had my thyroid removed 10 years ago. They said it was a small cancer about the size of the head of a pin. I didn't get radiation because they felt like it was remove before it could spread. I spent years getting the ultra sound every six months to make sure nothing came of it. I am fine today Thank God. I just have to take thyroid medicine for the rest of my life. I pray everything work out for you God bless.

Thanks for sharing your story. You're such a beautiful person, you almost crying just thinking about your husband was so sweet. You can see how much you love your family. Take care of yourself

I pray you have a fast recovery and I know your results will go well. Get better beautiful, and I'm glad you have a wonderful support system!!!! ❤❤

You look great! Take as much time as you need to heal! Don't jump back too quick! I think what you were doing before was pretty good! Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much for sharing! It's so sweet how much you love your husband! Praying for you and your recovery!

I’m going to have thyroid surgery on today please pray for me to whom it may concern?

Im so sorry for the pain and recovery you are going through, but I helps me alot, I just had a biopsy of two lumps on one side of my thyroid on Wednesday, and im waiting as well for my results. I was also told I have Hashimotos. I pray for your healing and results. Take care!

So good to know you're getting better! Hang in there, take your time healing. Hugs, take care of yourself!

Bless you for sharing your story. I am super glad you are doing well. I have a close family member that has to have this surgery and has been really scared to have it. I shall have her look at your story in hopes it helps her make a decision. I love your channel and wishing you all the best and a speedier recovery. Much love to you and your family. xoxoxoxo

I'm not sure if you've already talked about it but could you do a video explaining what symptoms you had and what made you get it checked out?

I had 2 partial thyoidectomies in 2004. My first half tested positive for cancer and I had to have the other half removed. I got some good healing salve and my scar is barely noticeable. You would know if he hit something in regard to your voice. I still get hoarse a lot more quickly than I used to, but I know people who weren't able to speak above a whisper post op. I would get myself a good endocrinologist for follow up care. Good luck!

Hey Beautiful💖 I'm so glad everything went well. I pray that you continue to recover quickly and that the results comeback negative. You are Amazing Sarah and so strong💖💖 Love you😙 By the way almost made me cry too

Glad you are doing well! Here's to a speedy recovery

My mom is gonna have her surgery this month, im really scared. I hope it goes well and she recovers ASAP.

Made me cry when you cried about your husband 😢 My thyroidectomy is next Wednesday.

I just had my total thyroidectomy done I’m post 5 days and my voice doesn’t sound sound great. Unfortunately I had to take calcium. Your are recovering really well and your voice sounds great thanks so much for sharing continue to have a speedy recovery.

Happy that you are doing well. I'm suffering from hypothyroidism its basically under control but I get so tired sometimes. May God bless you with continued healing and health

Prayers going up you, Sending hugs your way, I'm the same way about my hubby. When I had part of pancreas removed because of cancer. I'm praying for speedy recovery without any problems. Love ya girl Get well soon.

My mom just went in for surgery today. She is the glue of our family. ❤ Update? That would be nice

So glad you are healing and feeling better since your surgery! Have missed you on here! Don't forget to rest you had major surgery, having babies ain't for wimps, but neither is major surgery, You look great!

Oh my gosh I was just looking up my goiter and hashimoto's and YOU popped up!! I had no idea! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your experience♡

Oh honey I've been away for a while I had no idea! I'm praying for a quick recovery 🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻

I'm so glad that your surgery went well!! God Bless you!!!

It's so interesting I said something to you about this about 2 years ago. You got a major attitude with me. When I was just trying to help you. I actually stopped watching your channel but it's interesting this came up in my feed that you had surgery. Good luck.

So happy glad, you are doing better and that your surgery went well.....blessings to you and family!

I had the right side of my thyroid removed because of a nodule, 3 weeks ago. My incision is lower, and I can definitely relate with you on how painful it was post op once anesthesia wore off. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and the medication they gave me for that via IV caused me to have 3 panic attacks. I also have numbness/pins and needles type of feeling in the area. I'm still pretty sore and feel tugging when I swallow. My voice is a hot mess lol my left vocal cord was affected by the surgery and it might take months to get back to normal. Here's hoping it will! Found you because of your latest dollar tree haul and will definitely be subscribing! 😊

Really glad to hear everything went well. Thinking of you and hoping for no issues with the tumor.

I'm so glad you are doing okay after your surgery! I'm am praying for no cancer and a speedy recovery! Take care 💚❤️💚❤️

I'm so glad that I found this video because I'm about to go through this, and I'm scared

Thank you so much for sharing your story! My surgery is scheduled for 10/16/19 and your journey has been so comforting.

Girrrrllll! I have to have the right side of my thyroid removed in a couple of weeks. I have a goiter 8cm big. Ugh I’m nervous. I’m glad you’re surgery went well. It’d be great if you could give us an update :-)

Thanks for sharing. I’m scheduled to have surgery on July 7th. I’d been putting it off for a while because I was scared. But it’s time. Thank you.

Glad you are doing well. Praying for a speedy recovery for you!

You look great. My prayers are with you to continue to heal. You are a joy to watch so get better! God is good.

I'm glad you're doing better! Take care of yourself dear! 🤗

I'm glad your under medical care. I just subbed and couldn't help noticed your her neck looked just like a thyroid disorder. Healing light and love coming to you!

You're stronger than you give yourself credit for! God Bless you & your beautiful family ❤️

Happy to hear your surgery went well. All the best for a speedy recovery. TFS

8 am going get my surgery next week, thanks for the tips and information and I hope all gonna doing well next week with the operation

I've had my goiter since I was 8. It's still just chillin... Lol seriously though I'm terrified .. my hashimotos is a nightmare. But have you checked out Dr. Shooks videos here on you tube? I think he is brilliant amd the easiest to understand about thyroid issues. Because he also has thyroid issues. I'm so so happy you are recovering and I'm praying your tests are negative and you can get on with healthy living. I adore you. You had me in tears because I do understand... I'm doing the beachbody 21 day fix on Monday. It is easy fun amd healthy! Best of luck to you!!!

I'm so glad you ok and I be praying for you!

much love to you. prayers for a speedy recovery... keep up the good work.

I have been a subscriber for awhile now (love your DT obsession) anyway I was searching thyroidectomy recovery and I seen a familiar face...YOU. I and no idea you had a partial. Thank you for this video. I go for a total next month. Keep rocking it girly.

Glad all went well, wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Hey Sarah!! I am so glad your surgery went well. Sending you positive vibes.

I'm glad your doing good... such a strong 💪 woman ... take care of yourself see you soon on the next video!!

I came across one of your older videos and first thing I said to myself was omg I think this woman has thyroid issues because I did as well. I am so glad you did finally get checked out and all is well. I had a total thyroidectomy because I had two tumors on top of each other that turned out to be cancer. Your viewers who really care about you will ask or tell you about things maybe you don’t notice so I am glad enough people said something enough to get you to go. Who knows what could have turned into any later. Best of luck to you

Sarahhhhhhhhh (Barbie Sara from FB) glad you're recovering & OMG...ur hair 😍😍😍

Your such a sweetheart. It's so nice to see how much you love your husband.

You made me cry

I am so glad I found you! I have surgery in 2 weeks and I’m going looney bats! Thank you for sharing your journey
