So this has been on my mind... I am in the process of getting approval for lap band. I suffer from migraines with nausea and vomiting. Will vomiting ruin my band????

I'm sorry to hear you suffer with migraines only ever had a few in my life and they were awful. So I feel for you!

I've heard and read that vomiting can cause the band to slip. It might be worth talking this over with your surgeon.

Good luck!

Do you have a Neurologist? If not I would go to headache.com and find someone near you who is board certified in headache medicine.

One of the best things I ever did was learn my migraine triggers and have Botox injections for migraine prevention.

For me the best medication is prevention. Good luck ! Migraines can be so frustrating...

Thank you Nurse_Lenora!! I do see a neurologist and we are trying all different medications which typically don't help. I have heard of Botox for migraines but have not spoken to anyone that has tried it. Thanks for the information!!

Just had a thought... Do you have the hear piercing that's meant to prevent migraines? X

Hey JMbdt.. No I don't. I have read up on it though. No solid proof it really works.

Hopefully you'll be like me and your migraines will go away for the most part. I could have 12 a month and now only 1 maybe 2 a month. My meds still work wonders for me. It took years to find the right one, but now usually within 30 minutes or so its gone. I take 40 mg of Relpax.

I use imitrex and it usually works

My friends got it and she said she had a slight difference not a massive one. But her sister it worked well for.

Really do feel for you.
