  1. I have had Migraines since I was 16. After my brother died 4 years ago the migraines were really bad. My migraines mimic strokes where one side is weaker and I am confused and can't get my words out. My neurologist started me on Botox every three to four months. It has been a life changer. It does not help with migraines caused by glares but definitely with stress. I have not had one since thy started the Botox a year and a half ago (the bad ones). Also I had surgery almost one month ago and have not had a headache since then. I hope you all find relief because there is nothing worse.


  2. My husband has been so supportive too. He took time off work to be home with me after surgery and he has logged all my Protein, fluids etc. He and my son have been supportive and just want me to be healthy. Since surgery no more diabetes medicine. My husband said he feels like he is part of my weight loss journey and that we are a team. Of course my son and husband are very fit. It truly does make me feel loved and it is nice to hear them say how proud they are of me.


  3. Well I had my surgery done on 4/17. It was not as bad as I had anticipated. I just felt so lucky having found this website and knowing what to expect. Thank you all so much. I get to go home tomorrow. When my doctor came in yesterday he told both my husband and me how shocked he was at how much fat I had. He said he feels this surgery will definitely prolong my life. He said I should have had it done years ago. My BMI was only 38. So for you cash payers out there yes I do believe it is worth it. I hope to join you all on the losers bench very soon.


  4. I am BMI of 38 and will have my surgery 4/17 in California. I will cash pay. Got tired of jumping through hoops with insurance. With diabetes and losing my brother at age 46 it was not a hard decision. I want to be around for my family and grandchildren and PARTICIPATE in their lives. I also work for a bariatric surgeon and it is awesome to see how people's lives improve. I wish you the best in your decision making.
