  1. Ugh, I'm sorry that sounds terrible! There are some thoughts that CVS may be related to migraines (especially abdominal migraines, which I have had before). I had daily migraines for several years, but treating my sleep apnea bought them down to 1 a month or so. I'm 4 weeks post op with the sleeve and I've already had 3 migraines. Have you considered the bypass instead? It's reversible and the sleeve isn't. Usually I wouldn't suggest picking a procedure based on its reversibility, but if the sleeve doesn't go well you might be vomiting forever and that sounds terrible.
  2. Do you have a doctor who manages your CVS? I would suggest asking them, they would be more familiar with the disease and would know what aggravates it.
  3. I'm scheduled for surgery on 12/19 and I've found these posts (and the subsequent encouragement by the community) invaluable during my prep. I'm expecting to feel miserable emotionally and physically and have prepared myself and my support team (husband, family, friends, etc) to just keep telling me that feeling terrible is normal and I can get through it. Also I know that if I have complications or just normal emotional freak outs, I can come here and the community understands and will hold my hand. These posts are great and no one should feel bad about making them.
