D-shahed,

Unfortunately Graves antibodies don't go away after thyroidectomy and may continue attacking the eyes. Your thyroid eye disease should be carefully monitored by your endocrinologist. TSH suppressive doses of Levothyroxine may reduce the attacks on your eyes.

Not what you're looking for?
