thyroxin after thyroidectomy for weight loss Posted: 03-29-08 15:46pm
I had a thyroidectomy 3 1/2 years ago and
I take150 mcg daily. I want to lose about
10-15 lbs and I know that if I temporarily
up my dosage, the weight will drop rapidly
and then I can simply go back to my normal
dosage.
I know all doctors say this is bad- but
for 3-4 weeks - is it seriously that bad?
I am wondering if anyone has ever tried
this.
