I've got an Rx for them. I've suffered for years. Call your doc's office and see what they say. Feel better.

I've had Migraines since I was 5, and have taken Advil or years. Now I can only take liquid Tylenol....no more NSAIDs since surgery. I've found a very little Tylenol works remarkably well, since my surgery...taking care of lower back pain like magic. Fortunately, I've not had a Migraine since my surgery (a significant miracle!), so I don't know how well it will work on one of those. I hope you get some relief!!

I've suffered from Migraines since I was 9 years old. I've tried every over-the-counter medication and the only thing that seems to work for me is Excedrin Migraine. It's acetaminophen 200 mg, aspirin 250 mg, caffeine 65 mg. I just take the aspirin and acetaminophen combination because I get caffeine headaches.

I was told no caffeine and no asprine. Tylenole didn't touch it. I had some lortab left over that has pushed it away a little, but that won't help with future attacks. Mine seem linked to TOM. Thank god not every month though.

Excuse my language but f over ther counter! I am a sufferer and there are several things. Maxalt 10mg sublingual, Imitrex offer a subq self injection or if you want an anti inflam ibrofen type try Toradol also available injection. All these require scripts. But aren't oral so should be ok!

I have had Migraines for 20plus years, I am on daily meds to avoid and I have Imitrex for when i do get one, I am able to swallow half of one, because crushing them was a nightmare,both need prescriptions but it was worth getting them, you shouldn't continue to suffer with them.There are a lot of different meds you can take to help. I am at 21 days post op and swallowing it has not caused any problems.Good luck to you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
