Hi Jennifer!

Nice to hear from you. Are you talking about thyroiditis? That is just an inflammation of the thyroid and should be treatable with meds, I'd think.

I have hypothyroid and take meds for that, but it predates my banding. I don't know what might cause an inflammation; do your doctors have any idea?

hey alexandria,

i remember chatting with you in my beginning worries after the surgery. Your pic changed....you look well.

My doctor said it was stressed induced. but, if the pain dont go away in a week or so i should go back and then we have to schedule a cat scan and a sonogram. he said sometimes there are growths on the thyriod. Hope it goes away.

Just checking since this is the most informative site out there.

I remember you, too. Looks like you're doing great! :mad:

Your doctor has the right idea, best to find out what it is and get it taken care of. Don't worry! There's a million benign things it could be.

Take care!
