I had parathyroid surgery with 1 adenoma removed. Too early to tell if osteo is improved. Dexa in 6 months. Osteo drugs will not help if you have hyperparathyroidism and there is no such thing as mild hyperparathyroidism you either have it ir you don't. The surgery is pretty easy. You need to go to a surgeon who does a lot of parathyroid surgeries. I flew to an expert Dr. Deva Boone in Phoenix, Arizona. She will also do a phone consult with you for around 425 dollars. Norman parathyroid center in Tampa, Fla have a website full of info. People go there from sll over the world. You can self refer to both if these Ces. Good luck!

I went to Dr Norman in Tampa for my surgery in 2008.
Hello Geedle12. I followed up on your Oct 9 information about Dr. Deva Boone. As luck would have it, I'm in Phoenix so I spoke to her yesterday after reviewing her extensive library on HPT. Thank you so much again for this info, she seems like a great resource. Having blood tests/dexa soon and then an appt. with Endocrinologist to see if she agrees that I need surgery.
Have you felt better following surgery and are you taking osteo meds now? What kind of symptoms did you have after surgery, anything worrisome?
Thanks so much. Kolika

Thank you, geedle12 for sharing your surgery experience and suggestions! I will follow up on them. In general did you feel any differently after surgery? Did you or are you taking any meds/supplements following your surgery? If so, what did they recommend? Sorry about all these questions but you no doubt have valuable info. I hope your Dexa shows great results and that you are feeling better following the surgery.
