If you have your thyroid remove is their side effect with levothyroxine synthroid?

Not sure: What you are asking here. If you have your thyroid removed, you almost always need to take thyroid replacement with levothyroxine or some other similar drug. If enough of your thyroid is left behind after the surgery, you might not have to take medication however.
