Pseutotumor Cerebri

For those of you who suffered from PTC pre -op. I am curious as to how long it took for your headaches and vision problems to resolve and or how long it took before the discontinued your medications. I am almost six months post op an I have lost 85 lbs and my headaches and vision disturbances have actually worsened and my neurologist has added medications. So unfortunately no improvement for me yet.

I was just about to post this! I was actually diagnosed with PTC in 2007 while losing 65 lbs because of the horrible headaches and worsening vision. I had an optic nerve decompression in 2008 and then I went into "remission" when I got pregnant in 2009 and haven't really had any problems since. I am 3 months out from my sleeve surgery and my horrible headaches are back! And, as of right now my surgeon has me on no pills, just liquid tylenol. I'm freaking out a little, because it took several pills to manage my pain level when my headaches were bad. I have a follow-up with my surgeon in 2 weeks, then I plan on making some follow-ups with my neurologist to hopefully get this under control!
