I am pretty sure we are at different hospitals. Dr Kelly is at the Florence Hospital. We are still sleeve sisters none the less. I will look for your posts. Are you on the August sleevers forum?

Hi Sky. Maybe I will see you there. My surgery is scheduled for the 10th. I will arrive on the 9th. We should meet.

I am going to be there 9th through 14th. Maybe I will see y'all!

Hi Tracy. What hospital is Garcia at? We are sleeve sisters. I am having surgery on the 10th also but by Dr Kelly.

That's what I would recommend, I am sure different meds affect different things depending on what is in them.

Hi mom23. My surgeon had me discontinue all meds 1 month prior to surgery. But should I get a migraine he is allowing me to treat them up to two weeks before surgery. But nothing after that. It can be very scary.

I totally get you!

Hi ladies! I am bring sleeved on August 10th, but I do not think I am your long lost partner, since my Dr is Kelly. But we are still sleeve sisters since we will be starting out new lives on the same day! Yeah!

Certainly, I will try to message you mg phone number. Thanks a bunch.

I am not sure. I just thought that you might have some concerns that you thought could be important in preparing that you didn't think of in advance.

I am a serious diet mountain-dew junkie. So that's caffeine and diet soda in one! It is practically the only liquid I have consumed unless there was no other choice for the last 8-10 years. I am slowly weening myself. I have migraines and was afraid that going cold turkey would bring one on. I am down to 1 diet dew a day and I am drinking tons of zero vitamin water, fruit 2o and powder mix ins. I am not a big fan of the mio but I am getting in 6-8 of these water sources a day at 16-20 ounces each! Huge accomplishment for me. I have only felt cruddy for the first couple of days at 1 a day. But it's getting better and once I am done I intend to always be done no need in ever going back! I think this will be mentally my biggest feat! We can so do this! My family never thought they would see the day I go to the grocery store and do not come home without my dews. I have left my house at 11 o'clock in a work night to go and get a 12 pack because I ran out and couldn't bear the thought of waking up and not having on waiting. Serious ADDICT here!

Zen, I have never been able to find triggers for my migraines. But I will certainly find out if my diet affects them. I do take topamax. Funny you should say that, my husband researched them online was calling them dopamax. I have had some memory issues but they have gotten better. I was on it my first round for about a year I came off it for 9 months then decided I needed to give it another try bc the migraines were getting so frequent. It hasn't been as bad this go around. Thanks for sharing.

Me too! Hopefully we will both have less and less. I reconfirmed with the dr that I do have to come off everything but can take treatments meds for a migraine up till two weeks before surgery.
