A member asked:
Can you still get postpartum thyroiditis if you had a complete thyroidectomy and bilateral neck dissection?

No: Would be impossible if they did a total thyroidectomy.

Post partum: I don't see how thyroiditis would be possible in your case. Maybe the dose of thyroid hormone you are on needs to be changed?
