Hi. I am 10 days post op and doing great. I suffer from migraines and headaches quite frequently. I used to always take motrin because tylenol usually does nothing. Well, I have had a pounding headache for two days and have taken tylenol and it does not get rid of it. I know we are banned from NSAID's and this includes my beloved motrin. Any ideas because I am nearing a breakdown!!!!

Thanks everyone! I just heard back from my surgon who has assured me that this pain is a normal progression and will go away. You guys have been really heklpful, thanks again.

I am one week out and have been on the road to recovery. Every day has been getting better except for last night. A sharp pain started on my left side, I think where the port is. It is scaring the #$%^&* out of me as I have heard horror stories of ports flipping! Has anyone else had this pain? Is it normal or from possibly overdoing it (I did the laundry and some light cleaning yesterday).

wow! It is nice to hear great things about Dr. Geiss. I had my first appointment with him last week and am finishing all of the reqirements next week so i can schedule my surgery with him!

No I am lucky enough to have insurance that will pay for it!

Hi everyone! I have been reading posts on this site for two months, ever sice I made my appointment witht he surgon. My appointment was Tuesday and I have made the decision to be banded! I have made all of my pre op appointments for the next two weeks and hope to schedule my surgery for the end of March. Has anybody out there used Dr. Geiss in New York on Long Island?
