A member asked:
Will surgery for removal of hyperparathyroid correct metabolism , weight gain, poor memory, and thought processing?

Possibly.: Assuming you have high blood calcium from one or more abnormal parathyroid glands successful surgery may improve memory and brain function but may have little effect on body weight.

Possible: hyperparathyroidism treatment with surgery will improve calcium level, and might improve some cognitive issues.. IT does not influence the weight gain
