hello, well honestly the first week i regretted ever getting surgey, i was not in alot of pain but very uncomfortable and frustrated. i am 16days postop and feeling better daily. as for migraines i have chronic ones meds daily and i can still take them all. still have some thoughts of why surgery but on the positive i have lost 40# the more i walk the better i feel. and i am beginnibg to see the up side of all this. so be prepared it is an emotional rollercoaster but it really gets better daily.
