blood levels

Hello, I had a total thyroidectomy in January.  I am gaining weight, have mood issues, depression, anxiety, exhaustion, hair loss, joint pains, just to name a few.  I'm seeing my Dr this week, and I'll find out my results from bloos tests.  Just what should the TSH levels be?  I really think my synthroid should be increased & I want to go in there with some good information.  My BIGGEST concern is the weight gain!!

Oh, I should have included that info.  It's 100 mcg, and it's Levothyroxine, generic for Synthroid.
