Question:
Did anyone have pseudo tumor cerebri before WLS and did it help?

I have had problems with idiopathic pseudotumor cerebri for several years, and each time I lost weight it did seem to help. Then I would gain the weight back again. Since the surgery in March, I've lost 133.5 pounds, and to be honest I haven't had problems with it since I got down to the 75 pound loss mark. So, I guess, speaking from personal experience, yes, it did help, with that condition as well as several others. Hope this helps. Good Luck to you!

I did. I never had many problems with it other than hearing a strange sound in my left ear, and sometimes some pain or pressure in my left eye. As far as I know, the fluid has gone down. I actually haven't had it checked, but in the past when I got my weight below 200 lbs, it went away on its own. I certainly have not heard the sound or felt any pressure in my eye since my weight began to drop. I've lost about 103 lbs since in what will be a year on September 20. Yea!
