Answer you 're probably having hypothyroidism, can be corrected by hormone replacement, so go back to your doctor who do the operation.your calcium level is high.but pth is in normal limit.this can be corrected, but i think if you don't have symptoms,like fatique, anorexia , nausea/vomitting , you can re-check the level at some interval.are you taking any calcium supplement? decrease some dose maybe useful.
