Does Parathyroid Surgery Help Osteoporosis?

A MyOsteoTeam Member asked a question 💭
Charlotte, NC

I have been diagnosed with parathyroid disease and am scheduled for surgery in January. My endocrinologist believes this will help reverse my osteoporosis. Has anyone had experience with this surgery?

My regular Dr. Makeslike he doesn't hear me.theni have to call the nurse and when she gets back to meusally has some kind of meds I should get. Last time he gave me a drug for bipolar my sister said not to take it. She is a social worker and deals with this in older people and gets them rooms and sets them up
My Dr. Said it would for my depression and all. It's called lamotrigine 100mg 2x aday.it would help my brain. He is nuts. And I didn't take it.

It's the PARAthyroid, not the thyroid- located close together but two entirely different glands.
I've never known anyone who has parathyroid disease and was hoping someone on this forum had experience with it.

That will be interesting to know, maybe we're not getting enough iodine
