I am so full of questions (good thing I found this site).

I get migraines, I know certain triggers and try to aviod them. Did any of you that had the lapband have migraines prior to getting it? And, if so did it make any difference (better or worse) in them? Mine are NOT Blood Pressure Related..:crying:

Mom22, not sure who you are asking. If you are asking me, I don't know yet when my surgery will be. I am a self-pay and have my seminar on July 24th. I heard that this doctor usually does surgery 2-3 weeks after appointment on those not using insurance. If so, the surgery should be the end of August or in September if the doctor agrees to do it.

Mom, if you were talking to me, i am also unknown. I have to wait till my insurance will cover (March 09). I am on migraine controls meds too, they help a little. I have tried lots and finally found one that might help and the side effects arent horrible (none). I have heard that some people get a spike in migraine activity for a little while post op (like a month or so) but then as their weight loss slows, their migraines go down, back to normal. Unfortunately it doesnt seem to help most people with migraines as far as decreasing them, except for those that had high blood pressure and becuase that resolved, so did the migraines...

I guess it doesnt help EVERYTHING but its still a GOOD THING.

take care =)
