I woke up with bad headache this morning. I figured it's because of either allergies or because of quick weather changes the pressure sometimes does it. I'm use to taking 3 Aleve at least to get headache to go away or dull the pain but that was before the sleeve surgery. I automatically took that this morning after wondering if I should change on how we take basic medicine with the change of our stomach? For the future when ever we are on medicine for any reason will that always be adjusted because of our smaller stomach or not? This was one area of subject I never really thought of before because I normally don't take anything but Vitamins. Thank you!

Don't take NSAIDs! It may cause damage to your sleeve. Best thing I found is Goodys liquid Headache Relief shot. It tastes yucky but is really amazing. My Migraine is gone almost instantly.

Check with your surgeon about NSAIAD's. Some permit them, some permit with restrictions as to how much and how often, some forbid them entirely. It's definitely something to discuss with the medical professionals involved in your care.

My surgeon told me yesterday no NSAIDs. He said maybe in a year or two but not right now. It can damage the stomach. He took away my Voltaren for my arthritis and it's killing me. The arthritis pain is way worse than the surgery pain. Knee shots on Monday!

Wow! That would be rough! My Migraine came back and I called my doctor. He said I can take it but not a daily thing just once in awhile won't hurt me so still trying to deal with not taking it and go to bed early tonight! Thank you all for responding!

I'm new here and still in the pre-op process, I was just wondering if anyone knew about imitrex, is that allowed post-op?

@hockeyfan7 I KNOW just what you're talking about with the loss of voltaren ( I call it diclofenac ) ... I honestly cried a little when the doc said I couldn't take it anymore ... that medication is amazing on my arthritis pain ...

The doc said my pain doc could give me a low dose of Mobic and Pepcid to protect my new stomach ... I take it in the mornings .. I haven't' noticed a huge difference with it or without it ... but I go back to her next month ... maybe i'll have to get shots again ..

I'm bone on bone in both knees ... and I have lymphedema in both legs ... so knee surgeon said I had to lose weight before he would be able to do the replacements ... hence, the biggest reason for the WLS ...

Hang in there - things will get better! :)

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
