Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The human body needs vitamin D to function and stay healthy. Vitamin D helps the body get the calcium needed to make strong bones and teeth. The purpose of this study is to determine if taking vitamin D before surgery to remove the thyroid gland affects whether or not you may have low calcium levels after your surgery and to test the hypothesis that those who are given the Vitamin D before surgery will have decreased hypocalcemia and a shortened hospital stay.
