- My THYROIDECTOMY: surgery; what I learned; my advice
Hey guys!
Finally! I get sooo many questions about thyroidectomy so I'm posting this vlog to shed some light on what you are gonna go through should you decide to push through with your thyroidectomy.
Questions such as:
Was it painful?
How many days was I in the hospital?
Was it expensive? This will depend on your hospital of choice.
Any complications?
Was your voice affected after the operation?
What about the scar?
I honestly thought I'd be depressed about my scar but nope! Not bothered at all!
The best advice I can give you.. is to watch the vlog! Hehe
I hope that this vlog will somehow lessen your fears.. I am A-OKAY ALL THANKS TO MY DOCTORS.
Insurance was a big help, too! So make sure you have insurance, okay?
Before my thyroidectomy, I had no idea what I was gonna go through.. So maybe that's why I was crying right before the operation! Hahaha
If you have any more questions, please type them in the comment section below and I will get back to you asap!

Hello Michelle, taga Davao din ako. My friend (ka batch mo) advised me to watch your video because I was scheduled for thyroidectomy too. Gave me feeling na hindi lang pala ako. Marami pala tayo. Also, was thinking of the scar. But you know what, mas matagal akong nagtiis with a very big goitre, always wearing closed neck tops, noong winter OK pa kase I can wear turtleneck. Now it’s summer na in AU so there’s no way of hiding the lump anymore, cannot wear turtleneck anymore 😂
I had my thyroidectomy done last week lang. And same with you, only after surgery they discovered that the lump had carcinoma. So I am going to do radioactive iodine. Scared but it is what it is. Thanks for sharing your video about thyroidectomy. Makes me feel kayang kaya ko rin ito. 💪🏼 🙏🏻 I now wear tshirts and a silk scarf parang flight attendant to protect the cut from UV rays and the trick works well with the weather. ☀️🌈 Naisip ko, it’s not the scar I should be worried about. To do the treatment kase cancer pala ang nasa loob ng thyroid that was taken out during surgery. Thanks again and take care! 💛
Thank you for giving me the courage. I watched your video because I have an upcoming surgery at sobrang kinakabahan tlga ko. ❤❤❤
Awwww don’t be❤️ God is with you❤️
It’s a lovely video sobrang nka inspired nxt wk my thyroidectomy schedule no more scared n thanks for sharing
Awww Maryjane!❤️ I’m so glad I could help❤️
Nagpa tt then ako last oct. And I'm ok now. Agree po talaga ako na you have to choose the best surgeon.
Thanks po ms. Alice kasi at first I'm pity with myself and then when i watch your channel I'm relief. And i thank God that I'm fine now so far😊
Hello!!! Awwww im so glad you no longer feel that way and thank God we are both okay❤️
Thank God I see this video. I’ll have my thyroidectomy in 2weeks and I’m so scared. So much fear of the unknown. This video helps me to have a peak of what will happen. I’m less scared now.
God is with you❤️
Tama ka mam di nakakahiya ang peklat dyan kc ang mahal nyan,ako din po thyroidectomy din po 2 months palang, at dadaan pa ako ng RAI , praying na malagpasan ang lahat.
No pray lang po kaya at makakaraos din kayo
Hi po ma’am😊 just came across your very inspiring video, I trust all is well with you and congratulations on the success of your total thyroidectomy. God is so good all the time!🙏🏼
I have a couple of questions po if it is okay to ask po as,I have exactly the
same symptoms and situation as you did have and will be having my total thyroidectomy din po in a few days.
Were you treated po with radioactive iodine after?
How many weeks or months po before you were able to go back to work?
Hope to hear from you soon.😊
Kindest regards😊
So proud of you!!!❤❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing.. Complete removal of thyroid po ba sa inyo or part lang?

Hi Ms. Alice, my mom had her total thyroidectomy last January and turned out Papillary Thyroid Micro-carcinoma.. 🥺🥺🥺

New subscriber here... napanood po kita sa tiktok.☺️ Thats why im here. ☺️

Haha omg while watching this nka smile ako til the end😂 but deep inside sobrang worried ako kasi nadiagnose ako ng papillary carcinoma cancer sa thyroid last nov
Awww just follow your doctor's orders. Due ako sa pet scan this March. A bit worried but I know God is with me
Hi, ask lang po, my wife did the surgery as well, but her voice was affected its like no more high notes...i can hear you have not covered any of this issue?
sa ultrasound palang po nalaman na non cancerous? di na po kayo pina-biopsy?
Hi Ms. Michelle. New subscriber here! 😍 Love your energy and kwentooooos. I hope everything is well. I have a question po pala. Do you think naging factor yung work nyo before as FA sa thyroid lumps nyo, ano po sabi ng doctor about the cause? I'm planning to apply sa EK pero im hesitant now due to health reasons. Will appreciate your insights po. Thank you!! More power to your channel. 💕
Hello! This is such a good question!!!
Hello there. :) I was also an FA but with QA and was just recently diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and your videos have been really helpful thank you so much! 😊 I just want to ask if it’s okay, did you have to do the radioactive iodine treatment after? 🙂
Yay! So happy to hear this. Yep, might need to do RAI soon
Thanks for sharing I'll be going Total Thyroidectomy in a week.. Thanks nawala ung Kaba❤️❤️❤️
Hope all went well!❤️
Hi po!

Hello po, I'm from CDO my suspicious Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma ako base on my biopsy and waiting for my schedule ng surgery this month total thyroidectomy din, I'm so scared really, nilagyan kaba ng tube in the OR po?
I'm glad i found this vid. I'm scheduled to have my total thyroidectomy on nov 9 sa the medical city and I'm super scared. Like, I can't even sleep anymore just thinking about it. Grabeng overthinking everyday kasi i have a 1 yr old daughter kaya mas lalo akong scared that something might go wrong (God forbid). Watching this vid somehow put me at ease. Still anxious though T_T
Awww So happy nakatulong ako kahit konti. God be with you❤️ I know it’s scary kaya talk to your surgeon ha. Most important thing talaga. Tell him/her your fears and all.
@@AliceYap Share ko lang that my operation is done and everything went well. There's discomfort but minimal lang. I hope yung scar ko maging tulad din nung sayo na very faint na lang hehe thank you again for your video kasi it really put me at ease. God bless! 🥰
@@makethatglow8390 oh woooow!!! Big hug!! I’m happy to hear na everything went well☺️ Take it easy, okay? And don’t worry about the scar, ok?

Had my TT last April. And until now, i still dont have my normal voice😢 although the doctors said my vocal
Cords are ok… i have super dami lumps:( so talagang “kinayod” my neck:( stage 3 papillary carcinoma.. i have a question though, it seems like you didn’t gain weight? I stopped exercising (jumprope) last April. I still feel weak:(
hello kumusta po? hope you are well. ung Mom ko po, na TT last January, stage 1 Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma… until now po ung voice nya husky/hoarse … kayo rin po?
I had a voice complication too after my thyroid surgery. I am 1 month post op. I only had thyroid lobectomy. Mine is very hoarse, high pitch and in low volume. May times nasasamid ako whenever I drink water. Almost everyday I’m having panic attacks thinking when will I get my voice back.
Wla Po bang gamot sa scar
Hi Ms Alice? Just wanna ask po if pina RAI po kayo ng doctor nyo after malaman na cancer sya?
No need na raw sabi ng endo ko :)
I think this is the sign na po. Nung napanood ko po itong video nyo po parang naging decided na po ako mag pa surgery next week. Sobrang natatakot din po ako saka po sa magiging scar ko po talagang nakaka stress po 😢. But I think god’s answered prayer na po na napanood ko po yung video nyo po na mag pa surgery na po ako. Salamat po.
Awww I’m so glad nakatulong ako. Talk to your surgeon ha. Praying that all goes well sa surgery❤️
Hi, I agree with you first things first need to find the right doctor…please help me answer my question😅, sino po doctor nyo and what hospital?thanks
Dr Rolando Chiu - Davao Doctors Hospital
Hi Mam, just watch your vid. Same case po na mjo ntatakot pa magpa surgery. Tanung ko lang po after thyroidectomy, hindi naman daw po magkaka problema in the future pag gusto nyo magka baby? Kakakasal ko lang po kase and wala pa kami baby. Thanks po
Hello. Please talk to your endocrinologist. That's exactly why I had my thyroidectomy last year, kasi we're planning to have a baby na. I didn't want my condition to worsen habang preggy ako. I want to be 100% healthy before ako ma-preggy.
hope you reply to this. Did you gain weight after?? or was having difficulty losing weight? that is really one of my biggest concerns 😞 and your experience with levothyroxine. I just had mine taken out 5 days ago. Thank you! I love your uplifting spirit :)
I was at my fittest after my thyroidectomy. But I was also very active (i work out 6 days a week) and I’m used to meal planning kasi. I also count my macros - give it a try😊 Plus, you’ll see your doctor every 3 months naman so he or she will monitor your TSH.
Hello ma’am Alice. Nag lifetime kana ng levothyroxine?? Since thyroidectomy kana I mean kinuha lahat ng thyroid mo ma’am?
Yes, may maintenance na
Hello po! May I ask po ano name ng Surgeon niyo po? si Doc Rolando Chiu po ba?
Yes!☺️
Hello Maam after po ng surgery ninyu ninyu bha na experience tightness sa liig at madali manghina,yan kasi na ramdaman ko bumaba din yung calcium ko after TT
Yes, nahirapan akong galawin ang nexk ko after the surgery so important magstretch
musta naman kayu ngayun maam ? nauna lang kayu cguro sa akin ng 1month po march po ako nag pa opera nawala na po bha yung tightness po sa liig ninyu ngayun? maliban po sa tightness ano po iba ninyu na ramdaman after mai na bago since na operahan kayu?thank you po sa pag sagut maam😊🙏
@@AliceYap nawala napo bha yung tightness ngayun maam after ilang months ng surgery?
@@maryjanedaugdaug1829 no tightness whatsoever. I’m 100% okay talaga. Zero complications, I’m working out again, lifting a lot again.
Mas nakakatakot Po magkasakit Ng ganito kung walang pera😢😢
Hi, sino po Dr. Nag opera and san hospital thank you
Dr Rolando Chiu - Davao Doctors Hospital
Mam, pwedi mabal an kinsa imu surgeon and which hospital? I have hyperthyroidism and was told na mypa surgery. I’m scared too but watching your vlog really helps. Please let me know. Thank you 🙏
Hello, Mian. Davao Doc. Endocrinologist - Dra Racho. Surgeon - Dr. Chiu. Praying all goes well sa surgery🙏
Saan Po kayo nagpaopera? Pwde bang irekomend mo sa akin SI doc KC ganyan Po ang sakit ko.64 yrs.old na Po Ako,natatakot Ako KC magpaopera
Davao Doctors Hospital - Dr Rolando Chiu
Hi Mam, saw your video on Tiktok. Katatapos lang po ng thyroid biopsy ko now and kung ano man lumabas sa results balak ko pa din po mag pa thyroidectomy, ang tanong ko po, kamusta ang hormones nyo? May maintenance po ba kayo for hormones? Nabsa ko po kase na gain weight, dry skin, and fatigue pwedeng maging effect? Nararanasan nyo po ba yun? Salamat po
Hello. Please talk to your endocrinologist. I had the same questions before ako nagpa-thyroidectomy. Yes, may maintenance na after your thyroidectomy.
