The major reason I chose te surgery was to reduce my chronic (over 20 a month). Im 25, soon to be 26 ahhhhh! my Migraines have taken a toll since i was 23 and have turned my life inside out even landing me in bed for 9 months. Happy to report since I was sleeved on 2/28 I have not had a Migraine yet! *Knock in wood* Small headaches here and there but NOTHING like the ER visit type I experienced on the daily. I'm very excited with my results so far but I don't own a scale so I'm not sure how much weight I've lost. But no migraine in 5 days is HEAVEN for me.

Woohoo, I am so glad to hear this.

Congratulations.

I have been a Headache sufferer all my life. Headaches with no real explanation.

Since my Surgery Nov 7, I have had two bad headaches and I know exactly why I had them.. Were taken care of with simple Tylenal.

Have not taken my daily headache med since the surgery..

This is freaking awesome.

I truly believe there is a connection between Grelin and Headaches.

Best Wishes,

IMABear

I'm a chronic migrainer also, but I've had meds that have stopped them like a miracle.. So glad you're no longer suffering.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
