I agree, it sounds as if the cooling system was not properly bled by the mechanic. Unfortunately, if your car overheated sufficiently again it is entirely possible that the head gaskets will again need replacement. Are there any signs of oil in the coolant or water in the oil? If not, you may be in luck and all that will be required is a bleeding of the cooling system. I wouldn't drive it, however, until that was done. Did you replace your water reservoir cap when all the work was done? If not, I would certainly do so as they are known to fail. As I recall, the last digit on the upgraded ones is a 4, while the earlier ones ended in 0.
