A member asked:

Will removing the right thyroid impact my fitness capabilities in any way? i'm removing a nodular goitre and want to know if i can train post surgery

No.: A partial thyroidectomy shouldn't negatively affect your training. You can get your thyroid hormone levels checked after the procedure to make sure that you don't need hormone replacement.
