Are my migraines gone??? For good????



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I’m currently 11 days post-op and feeling pretty good, although I can’t wait for puréed foods!! Lol

Wanted to see if anyone else has experienced what I’m going through. I was diagnosed with Migraines in High School and have had them ever since. I wasn’t always obese, was average in high school and in great health, sports,etc. So migraines were never attributed to weight. Even as I got older I had periods of time when I was an ok weight. All I was able to pinpoint was that if I got too overheated I would get a Migraine but really they would come anytime, especially during my period and a drop in barometric pressure.

Truthfully, one of the things I was mostly scared of during this whole process was being able to take my migraine medicine if I got one. I must have asked my primary care and any other doctor about this like a million times and even though they told me it would be fine to take (during pre-liquid diet,post-op,etc) I was waiting with anxiety. I got a few during my pre-op liquid stage and it was horrible.

So here I am, 11 days post-op, barely taking anything in because I’m on full liquids still and not very hungry......and no migraines!!!! I’m afraid to say it aloud for fear they’ll come back but I’m so surprised!!! I even started my period and nothing!!!

Has anyone experienced this? Could my migraines have gone away forever????!!!! If they did it would be the best thing ever let me know if anyone else has gone through this....does anyone know of a correlation between your stomach and migraines?? So curious. Thank you!!!

      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. 🤞
