Weight Gain After Thyroid Surgery | UCLA Endocrine Center

Are you worried about gaining weight after thyroid surgery? In this video, Dr. Angela Leung, from the UCLA Health Endocrine Center, provides her insights. Understanding the thyroid's role in metabolism is key. The butterfly-shaped gland creates thyroid hormones and uses them to regulate your metabolism. Surgery might mean you need thyroid hormone replacement, depending on the extent. But even with partial removal, the remaining thyroid might be able to produce enough hormones — every person is different. Weight gain is possible post-surgery if thyroid medication dosage is insufficient. Low thyroid hormone levels can slow your metabolism, affecting energy and weight. Regular thyroid blood tests help monitor hormone levels. Remember, factors like appetite shifts and activity changes can also contribute to weight.
