Thyroidectomy: Robotic Thyroid Surgery

Thyroidectomy was 18 months ago. The severe gas and bloating started about 4 months following surgery. How does one find an endocrinologist that would consider liothyronine?

Hi, @jmk1 - sorry to hear you are having severe gas and bloating after your thyroidectomy.

As far as finding an endocrinologist who would consider liothyronine, used for severe hypothyroidism, I'd like to invite members like @peetiepie @macierubida @michellecrcrn @darlia and @amtxo1989 to this conversation to see if they have some thoughts for you. Hoping they may also have some insights on the gas and bloating following the surgery.

Has anything helped your gastrointestinal issues thus far, @jmk1?
