I am pre VSG and have one to three migraines a month. I was wondering there is anyone else out there that has suffered with migraines before surgery and what happened after surgery? ~thanks Bulldawgma

Hello,

I am a post sleever and was having terrible migraines pre op, especially doing the diet. Since the surgery I have only had one (but I work nights and it is usually from lack of sleep). The first thing I noticed was even though I wasn't eating and wasn't hungry I still didn't have any migraines. Let me know if this helps.

What did your Neurologist advise about the surgery. I have not had an appointment yet to have that discussion.

I haven't had the surgery yet, but when I told my neurologist that I was planning to have surgery, he was very supportive and thought that I would have fewer migraines. Can't wait to be on the other side and test that theory out.

That is very encouraging news Cielle! Migraines are awful. Best of luck on your surgery. I do not have an approval or a date yet. I am still getting the info ready for the insurance company, but that is better than self pay (for the kids college fund anyway). Thanks for your reply!

Yup me I deffinatly get them and I totaly hope they go away after surgery... cuz that would be awsome!!!

I used to have a few migranes a month. Since my surgery almost 4 months ago, I have had one! I don't know why, but who cares, lol.

Hey,

Me too... used to get them for a variety of reasons... 12 weeks post op and no migraine... a few headaches but no migraine... I will consider this a NSV...lol

Great news! Thanks for sharing, Maddie & Coops. Would be so wonderful to reduce or eliminate my migraines.

It will happen for you. I went to a seminar in March and my surgery will be in November. I'm just grateful that my insurance started covering the sleeve in July. I really didn't want to go with one of the other options and I don't think my husband would have been too supportive if I'd gone with RNY.
