I have no thyroid (it was surgically removed due to lumps in it) and am wondering what will happen to my body if I stop taking the medicine that replaces its function.

You don’t NEED the thyroid gland to survive but it is like an administrator of sorts of many bodily functions so you will start experiencing signs and symptoms of the chaos induced by having no gland: loss of hair, nail and tissue fragility, dry skin, low energy, low libido, cold intolerance, slowdown, sleepiness, weight gain, depression, puffy face, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
