How long is a typical recovery from a thyroidectomy?

Thyroidectomy?

  • My mom is having a complete thyroidectomy, can anyone out there give me an idea of how long her recovery will be? I have researched and have read things that say two weeks tops, to other places that say 6 weeks to resume normal activity and as much as a year to recover a normal voice to... Have you had one or do you know someone who has? How did the recovery go for you (your friend)? Mom's doctor has told her 2-4 days in hospital, and that she can't travel for AT LEAST two weeks. This was an issue with scheduling because my daughter is graduating, she will miss it, so we really just wanna know what to expect and how we might help her. Thanks

  • Answer:

    how many people are asking a question in this paragraph? you are or is your mom? "My mom is having a complete thyroidectomy" "my daughter is graduating, " anyhow.......
