It is a branch of the trigeminal nerve...it's called glossopharyngeal neuralgia... They think. It's so bad' date=' I literally want to die when it happens. The attacks are getting much closer together, so I pray for answers... Thanks to everyone for your support.[/quote']

I was supposed to have a bunch of nerves at the base of my skull behind my left ear snipped because of nerve pain. But did not want them to branch out to the top of my head. When you're having a painful attack there is nothing to take it away.

I'm hoping they'll find a med that will lessen the attacks for now...it's not a permanent solution, though. Right now I'll just be happy to have a doctor who will not pass the buck.

I would go to the mayo clinic. So many people have the best luck there. I was going to go there for my back if I didnt get any help here! Hope things get better for you. I definitely feel your pain and it gets very old and depressing after awhile. I'll be thinking of you!

I agree, mayo is the best! I work there. :)

I hear some of you talking about the foamies. I never asked what it was in the hopes of never knowing. Now I know. I hate the foamies.

You need a referral. I would ask your primary. I've heard good things about both in MN and FLA.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
