I am having the same issue. That's how I stumbled across this thread. Attempting to find a correlation and some answers. I am almost 2 months out, post gallbladder removal, and have had severe migraines lasting 3+ days almost weekly. It is taking a toll on me. I'm having more bad days than good lately. I did read somewhere that it has been linked to the bile leakage into the system post gallbladder removal. That's the closest I have found to any answers regarding the matter. I have suffered from migraines since I was a kid. However, since being grown, have only suffered from them once every 3-6months. Until having my gallbladder removed. As I said, it's now been on a weekly basis with more days of having them than not. I hope that as time goes on it will subside and lesson. I have an appointment on Wednesday with my family doctor and will Definetly be speaking to her in regards to it and see what she thinks or says. I believe there is Definetly a strong relation to having gallbladder removal. There has been nothing else that correlates to this change in frequency, severity & prolonged period of having them. It is definitely frustrating and taxing on my body as well as mentally and emotionally. If I receive a definitive answer on Wednesday when I see my doctor, I will definetly reply/comment again and let you & others on this thread know if there is in fact a direct relation to gallbladder removal.

Good luck to you on Wednesday, I had my gall bladder removed 17 days ago. I have not gone to the bathroom regularly yet and have shooting pain in the incision areas. Last night first time sharp shooting pain in the gall bladder area. I also am somebody who have had migraines and headaches my whole life, I pray they don't become a regular thing. I pray for you and hope they come up with an answer for you on Wednesday.

Did you get any answers? I had my gallbladder out on 7/22 and I’ve had a migraine every day. I’ve been to the ER 2xs and my neurologist prescribed a string migraine medicine but I only get a few hours relief. No one know why this is happening. On top of this I Have MS and 2 littles so this has been a nightmare!
