Hi everyone. I am scheduled to have my gastric sleeve on July 25. Now I know that having the gastric sleeve surgery, will change my life. But there are a couple things that I am really worried about. I suffer from chronic migraines. I worry that the liquid diet will cause my migraines to go haywire. I worry that I will not be able to take the medications that I must take when I have severe migraines. I take Vicodin or Percocet. Can I still take them during the pre-op liquid diet? I also take Excedrin Migraine and I know that I cannot take that. I am okay with that but I absolutely must take my Percocet. These are not headaches, these are severe migraines.

I have been looking at a product called Zija and I am really torn between doing that and doing the bariatric surgery. Has anyone tried Zija? I would not be interested in doing Zija for marketing. I only want to know if the product actually work? I have a friend of mine who claims that he lost 125 pounds on the product. But I'm curious if anyone here has tried the product

So after the surgery, I'll never be able to take excedrin migraine again?

I personally had to go off all anti-inflammatories – over-the-counter and prescription… It kicks my butt but, you have to protect stomach. The only one that unable to take his injection – tordol… That's another one I take for my migraines when it gets really bad.

I take arthritis strength acetaminophen it seems to help. But, I also haven't had as many headaches since being sleeved .
