Pre-Surgery Migraine Sufferers?



Recommended Posts

I almost hate to post this! I have been a Migraine sufferer for years. But.........*knock on wood* I have only had one small one, while still in the hospital, since my sleeve. It feels almost surreal to go over a week without one! Could this be related to NOT being addicted to Diet Coke any more??

I'm anxious to hear replies from other sufferers. I'd be tickled to find out people's Migraines decrease after surgery - one more reason to be excited about getting this done!

I have to say I'm glad that I've only had to use my imitrex injection once since surgery I'm 8 weeks out. I still take my topamax and propranolol when I remember lol but thank god I'm not suffering from Migraines every week. Almost like a cure.

I know before my surgery in September I had bad headaches. They pretty much lasted all day. I couldn't take any meds I know would work to take the pain away. Extra strength Tylenol does not work for me. I was having caffeine withdrawals. After surgery was a different story. I got a headache the day after but so far it's like I'm cured from my Migraine headaches I used to have everyday. I am so much happier without those headaches

I've suffered with Migraines for yrs. After surgery on 11-4-13 I've had 2 small headaches. Before surgery I took excedrin Migraine. I didn't want prescription drugs as long as the excedrin was working. Little over 4 wks out and I'm amazed at the difference. I was scared I would have to be put on prescription meds due to no more nsaids!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
