HI,

I have cervical fusion in C5-C7 10 weeks ago and the surgery lasted 9 hours. I had the best neurosurgeon in the world. However, I am postmenopausal and I went in for hormone blood testson Thursday and I was informed today that my thyroid is somewhat high.

Could his be because of the surgery. I have lost 15 lbs since the surgery and I weigh now 148. Also, my cholesterol is 219 and I am an athlete and never ever have I had high cholesterol.

Can these issues be related to the surgery? Funny thing is that my triglycerides are 85 and BP 118/70.

Please advise.
