Pre-Surgery Migraine Sufferers?

I almost hate to post this! I have been a migraine sufferer for years. But.........*knock on wood* I have only had one small one, while still in the hospital, since my sleeve. It feels almost surreal to go over a week without one! Could this be related to NOT being addicted to Diet Coke any more??

    I'm anxious to hear replies from other sufferers. I'd be tickled to find out people's migraines decrease after surgery - one more reason to be excited about getting this done!

  • I have to say I'm glad that I've only had to use my imitrex injection once since surgery I'm 8 weeks out. I still take my topamax and propranolol when I remember lol but thank god I'm not suffering f

  • I know before my surgery in September I had bad headaches. They pretty much lasted all day. I couldn't take any meds I know would work to take the pain away. Extra strength Tylenol does not work for

I have to say I'm glad that I've only had to use my imitrex injection once since surgery I'm 8 weeks out. I still take my topamax and propranolol when I remember lol but thank god I'm not suffering from migraines every week. Almost like a cure.

I know before my surgery in September I had bad headaches. They pretty much lasted all day. I couldn't take any meds I know would work to take the pain away. Extra strength Tylenol does not work for me. I was having caffeine withdrawals. After surgery was a different story. I got a headache the day after but so far it's like I'm cured from my migraine headaches I used to have everyday. I am so much happier without those headaches

I've suffered with migraines for yrs. After surgery on 11-4-13 I've had 2 small headaches. Before surgery I took excedrin migraine. I didn't want prescription drugs as long as the excedrin was working. Little over 4 wks out and I'm amazed at the difference. I was scared I would have to be put on prescription meds due to no more nsaids!

I'm 2 years post op and I haven't had any migraines since before my surgery. Yayyyyy for us. Who knew this would. Be so helpful

im 3 weeks out. i used to have migraines that could last up to 2 weeks at a time. i have had maybe 1 small headache since my surgery!
