I'm not sure what you're asking, but I'll attempt a reply. If you are hypothyroid (your thyroid function is low), the surgery can actually help that. If you are hyperthyroid (your thyroid function is high), you might have to have that treated before the surgery. I don't think thyroid problems would prevent you from having the surgery altogether.
