    Migraines?

    migraines are much more complex than just triggers it is hereditary also, my grandma committed suicide, she couldn't take the pain anymore, her son, my father is suffering also, and myself + as many as one in five people may suffer from patent foramen ovale (PFO) - or a hole in the heart - which can leave them at increased risk of both stroke and migraine

    Migraines?

    It is funny thing that I got Lotrel to treat my high blood pressure, and it is a Calcium channel blocker, and it really prevents my migraines very well also... All my adult life suffered from migraines, cluster headaches. I have been in the hospital numerous times over the past 30 years, this pill really works for me.

    Barium swallow x-ray in Maryland/Washington

    Hi Katschai, Thanks so much... My wonderful surgeon is in Hungary, in a hospital he comes to the radiology, to check my barium swallow in person. Now I went to see Dr. Averbach, here in Maryland ... he gave me a prescription for UGI series. It is very confusing for me. I have no idea whom should I call, I have asked Dr. Averbach if he can recommend an office but left his office without any recommendations. So, when you had this baseline (or a scout xray) where did you go to? St. Agnes? do you have a phone number? I have aetna, but I don't think it will cover it, would you know how much are these xrays self-pay? THANKS so much for your help..... I am in desperate need of help for information.

    Did my band slip??

    jme62, I'm going through something very similar right now. I had my surgery a month before you, lost 70 pounds, had my last fill in November. Cannot keep down food at certain situations. Made an appointment for barium swallow, I think you should too. Start/Current/Goal lbs 230/162/130 Surgery 24 Nov 06 Dr. András Vereczkei ((he's awesome!!))

    Any Handbag Lovers out there?!?!

    About 2 months ago ... I ran into a Francesco Biasia's "disco diva" handbag at (!) Marshalls, purchased it, came home, checked on ebay, the price point three times as much :clap2: http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1136/1444780936_700822950a_o.jpg

    Migraines? who suffers like me?

    I have suffered from excruciating migraines since my teens. I am afraid to take Excedrin, because it is a NSAIDs : non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. That is not a very good mix with the lap band, NSAIDs can lead to erosion.
