How long after thyroidectomy did you start to feel “normal”?

I am 6 days postop TT (total thyroidectomy) papillary. Have been given 100mg Levothyroxine daily. Feeling terribly dizzy after taking med. Absolutely no appetite and losing weight. Blurry vision, sweating and terrible insomnia. Has anyone experienced this? I see my GP tomorrow for follow up.

So sorry to hear. Hang in there. You do need a synthetic hormone, forever. Hopefully the medical team will figure out the reason you are having these symptoms.
I was fine, except sore throat after my TT. I also had neck dissection for 2 lymph nodes.
You should be informed of the extent of the surgery. Sometimes with a TT, they also excise lymph nodes and more. Review your post op report before you meet with the doctor.
