I have suffered from Migraines since I was 13. I tried all the medications out there, did neuro work ups, everything, but no medicine works, except the "migraine cocktail" they give you via IV at the ER, but I HATE the drugged out feeling. I finally tried having braces on my teeth as I am a grind my jaw and after 3 years of wearing them it did help. I think I had two causes of the migraines, hormones & the teeth grinding.

Now, I am almost 3 months out of sleeve surgery & am beginning to get them again! My GYN told me that estrogen is stored in fat cells (I have a major sensitivity to estrogen, can't do birth control because of it) & I am afraid that's why the new migraines are starting: my body is shedding fat & therefore releasing the estrogen into my system.

I do NOT want to suffer through these again as they are completely debilitating (I have to just close myself off in a dark room for days) and none of the medication really works.

I saw a post that said CoQ 10 can help, so I will try that, but does anyone have any suggestions? I know I am not getting enough Water & that can cause headaches as well, so have been upping my intake.

Thanks!

Amber

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
