I had a Total Thyroidectomy and missed about a week of work. It really was NOT what I expected at all. Had a nice incision across my neck and really that was the only "pain" and it really wasn't pain. Good luck to you!

There's other variables - not that any complications WILL happen but I'd pad the time if you could just in case. I say this because I had half my thyroid removed in 2007 for biopsy - was told it'd only be a week. Day of surgury I was in overnight then released. Next day I developed a MRSA staff infection that I received at hospital. I then stayed about a week in the hospital fighting it, then another two weeks at home with close monitoring and dr. apts. Ended up being about a month ordeal.

Wondering how many people in the area have nodules on their thyroid.
I have them, but mine come and go. Never had to have surgery to remove them. And adjustment of medication usually shrinks them.
