Brief Answer:
To keep low TSH for atleast 5 years

Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern.
After the surgery and ( radio iodine treatment) doctors want TSH to be suppressed to around 0.1 range for at least five years based on the pathology report. Dose must be modified to achieve this range of TSH. You have to take enough calcium and vitamin D to protect your bones while on this high dose of Thyroid hormones to protect the bones. In this dose, you are likely not to gain weight, but may lose coupld of kilos of weight. Occasional patients develop palpitations and tremors
