Recommended Posts

I Am curious how many post op sleeves have IIH (pseudotumor cerebri) and if it improved or went away after surgery? I have it and am hoping that weight loss helps!

Thank you,

Carol

I don't think I have this but I have a narrowing in the artery in my brain (LICS) and I am hoping that weight lost and liptor will open it up. What is the neuro. doctor saying.

Hi lilu, i have never heard of that. I hope weight loss helps you! My neuro says that most IIH is cured by weight loss but there are a some people where it doesn't. *fingers crossed*

Have you had any relief since surgery? I have this as well and am scheduled for surgery in April. I am hoping this will relieve any lingering symptoms because I can't tolerate having to be on Diamox ever again!

I was sleeved feb11th and I have pseudotumor. and I am having my 1st headache since surgery right now. I have been off diamox for years...it's a horrible nasty medicine. my neurologist put me on lasik. works much better for me. I hope the sleeve helps because that's why I did it..

I should be having my sleeve in May. IIH was the deciding factor for me, I am really hoping that this is what it takes to have pain free days again.

I had/have IIH. It's improved since surgery. Less headaches& my ocular pressure went down. I feel for you guys about the diamox--I vomited all day, couldn't stand up. Terrible.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
