Today has been 3 weeks since my surgery. I have not had one headache (other than in the hospital which the nurse said was from the morphine). Pre surgery i would have a pretty bad headache at least 4-5 times a week. Hope this continues and I am not jinxing myself writing this.

It has been suggested that a complete reduction in eating those horrible processed carbohydrates has an impact on the amount of headaches we get....

I have to say I concur.. (being a Migraine sufferer)

I have had very few since being sleeved. Long may it continue - for all of us! :)

I was thinking it may have something to do with carbs, also. I was a BIG sweet eater. Working in a doctor office we always have people bringing goodies. I would eat cake for lunch and have another piece later in the day ????.

Me too. Due to a back injury 7 years ago I began to have constant Migraines. To the point that I needed treatment every second day that cost me into the thousands of dollars every year....I just wanted to die sometimes..Medication did not even touch them.

Since surgery I have only had 5. I am so stoked about that...Days go by without a headache of any kind....

I am hoping that I have a similar outcome. My Migraines require Imitrex shots, which I have to ration because the insurance company limits how many you can buy per month to four.

Cannot wait for the surgery (March 17th) - I will probably be suffering right up until then - in fact I have one coming on now,

But the end is sight - so I am hurting and hopeful - LOL - sounds like it should be the title of a chapter in Shades of Grey.

The fact that we are more aware of what we eat and do not eat the same junk we did before surgery can only help our overall health. Once I get further through the recovery process do I expect my mental alertness to increase and my productivity to only get better once I go back to work. It is no coincidence.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
