As far as I know, one cannot fly if you have an overactive thyroid. Whether through surgery or radio iodine therapy should one's condition return to normal euthyroid condition I see no reason why one cannot fly. One will most likely be hypothyroidic after surgery or radio iodine therapy, so will be on thyroxin medication to maintain normal function.
