    Technically yes. The main function of the thyroid is to regulate your metabolism. If you have an overactive thyroid, this means that you have a high metabolism. Having surgery to correct this, for example, removing your thyroid, will lead to a decreased metabolism. You will have to adjust your medications with your doctor to avoid/treat complications, such as weight gain. Don't forget to eat sensibly and exercise, which will help you to stay in shape. Good luck!

    A few months ago, I was very sick, zero energy, freezing cold, depressed, weight gain, thought I was dying. I read every word of this Hypothyroidism Revolution program and followed all the advice. My life turned around the first week. I started to feel human again. Within weeks my energy came back and I felt like living again.
