Hypercaecemia and hyperparathyroidism
I have hypercaecemia and hyperparathyroidism, I suffered from this in 1992 and had half my thyroid taken away and and a parathyroid gland, I am now suffering again with an adenoma on another parathyroid, my calcium level is 2.71, I don't feel well most days and have been offered surgery even though im on an anticoagalent (rivaroxaban), I wonder if the surgery will give me a better life or not,

Hi Jude4667
This blog is for queries from people who have had weight loss surgery for obesity - either gastric band, gastric bypass, gastric sleeve etc. Unfortunately I am unable to answer your question as this is related to a different type of surgery. I suggest that you contact your surgeon if you have questions and concerns about your surgery. I am sure that your surgeon will be able to reassure you about your concerns.

Hi Jude
I'm happy to answer your question as this is my specialist area.
There are specific criteria used when determining whether someone should have a parathyroidectomy. It's usually determined by the blood calcium level, combination of renal function and urinary calcium loss, bone loss as determined by a DEXA scan, complications such as renal stones and symptoms. There's always pros and cons with surgery. It would be sensible you request a referral to a surgeon who can discuss this with you.
