Anyone else had migraines improve?



Recommended Posts

OK I may be jinking myself, but I used to have a Migraine every month (TOM) and sometimes in between. I have only one since surgery almost 3 months ago and despite having had 4 periods since then! Does losing weight improve Migraines generally? What is your experience?

I haven't had my surgery yet but I have talked to my doctor about this. I have severe migraines! He told me that generally what the studies have shown is that a high percentage of bariatric patients see most or all Migraines cured post surgery! I am hoping for this! Best of luck!

I was getting one every week before surgery, so far I have had only one and it was alot milder.

I'm just about 9 months out and i have to say that my Migraines used to run my life. Since surgery, I can tell you that I do not even carry my meds with my any more. I still take Topomax, but I did go 2 months without it because I didn't have the cash to get a refill, and nothing! it is great!!!

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I have noticed that since I have started paying attention to my diet and exercise that my Migraines and regular headaches have lessened. This make me very happy and I hope it continues after surgery next Wednesday!

I don't have nearly as many as I did and when I do they are more like regular headaches.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
