Thyroid gland issues

    Hi folks, I'm just looking for other people's experiences on an issue I have at the moment.

    Ok, so I'm a 35 year old man, I'm 6'2" and currently hovering around the 17 stone Mark. I've alway tried to stay fairly active and despite playing football a couple of times a week, gym a couple a times a week, giving up beer about 5 years back, and a half decent diet ( I won't lie and say I don't eat a bit of junk here and there) I can never really shift any proper weight but I just put it down to getting older. The last 8-9 months I have been feeling really really sluggish and constantly tired, physically and mentally, I can fall asleep any where almost instantly, and when I do push myself to do any thing physical I don't seem to have much stamina.

    So just before Christmas I went to the doctor, instantly she spotted a swelling on my neck, after blood tests and ultrasounds it turns out I have a fairly large growth on my thyroid gland, I'm waiting for biopsy results to come back and then regardless of what it turns out to be I'm being taken in to have it surgically removed.

    I'm just wondering if anyone else here has had the same issues and had surgery to have a lump on the thyroid gland removed? Did you find that every levels improved afterwards? I would love to think that I'm still young enough to get back in to shape if I can get this issue sorted.

    Cheers guys
