Juanitad is right. There's no way to predict how you might improve or not after a thymectomy.

Some studies say that if it's done early on in the disease process that you have a better chance at either drug-induced remission or drug-free remission.

Probably the only negatives that occur after a thymectomy are a risk of a MG crisis from surgery, pain from incisions/trauma, and a somewhat long recovery time where you need to pamper yourself (which is really a good thing).

And, of course, the scar.

I hope you will do very well and recover quickly.
