Does anyone else get hunger migraines? I am going to be banded 8/13/07 and have wondered if anyone has had this problem during the pre op diet or after surgery. I get migraines sometimes from hunger. Will it happen more after the band?

I used to get horrible migraines. I used Immitrex injectables at least twice a week. I had tried everything, and only the immitrex gave me any relief. I am approaching my 2 year anniversary and can count on one hand the number of migraines I have had in those 2 years. I LOVE my band. ~Mandy

I've never heard of a "true" migraine being caused from a lack of food. Migraines are typically caused from food triggers, not a lack of food.

Now, people do get headaches from not eating. It's a blood sugar issue. But I'm not familiar with actual migraines from a lack of food.

Migraines and a typical headache are not the same thing at all.
