I know this is a little later, but I need help. I am beginning to wonder if these are related back around 2010 I had my gall bladder removed, ever since then I started having migraines aches and pains and massive weight gain. My thyroid is enlarged, but only one test showed high levels and an ultrasound shows nodules. I had been working with docs to control my weight and keep hitting block walls. My entire family history back 5 generations is less than 105 pounds I am almost 180 and gaining regardless of diet and weight. I was researching weight loss solutions and post cholecystectomy points to thyroid issues such as hashimoto hypothyroidism which would explain everything I have been seeing doctors for. Can anyone guide me.
