I had a total Thyroidectomy and take 100mcg of Levothyroxzine and I am experiencing weight loss. Is anyone else having this?

I did respond to your other post, but will answer here as well, just in case you don't see that one.

Weight loss, for some people, is a normal side effect of this drug, not everyone gains weight on it.
