Hi @lise01, @hopeful23, @koh - it's been a while since I posted here. Thank you all for your updates and tips!

@lise01 good to know that you found a new GP and good luck with the oncologist appointment. I am waiting to get my TSH levels tested next week to see if there is much change from the thyroid hormone test a week after the surgery. I haven't gained any weight so far, but the scar is a thick dark line more than a month after the surgery. I am not sure if that is normal or if something else is going on. I am applying scar cream and silicone scar sheets and have never exposed the scar to sunlight, but there is no change yet.

@hopeful23 congratulations on the move! Hope you are enjoying the new place. Any updates on the thyroid hormone testing?

And how are you all feeling overall after the surgery? Are there major changes that you see?
For me, more than anything else, my GERD/Acid Reflux is completely out of control right now. (For the last year, that is the only other medical issue I have had and the PTC diagnosis came out of nowhere because I was thinking something with my colon or esophagus would show up in the tests I had.) I am at my wits' end and I wonder if the acid reflux has become worse because of changes in the thyroid hormone levels?
