I am right at 2 months out, and I am 26 pounds down, however for the last 2 weeks I am having trouble with headaches. Everyday in the afternoon I an getting splitting headaches. Has anyone else found that they were getting headaches? Is there something my body is not getting? I shouldn't be in sugar, carb or caffeine withdrawal because it has been months since I've had any of those things and the headaches only started about 2 weeks ago. Any advice welcome thanks.

How is your Fluid intake? Are you getting the recommended 64 ounces in? Even if you are, maybe try getting in some more. Dehydration can cause headaches. Call you surgical team, in any case, so they know what is going on. They may be able to suggest treatments. Good luck to you!

I had this issue as well. I was taking in at least 100 Fluid ounces a day and getting in all of my Vitamins, Protein, etc. My surgeon suggested that I up my calorie intake. This was at my 3 month post op appt. I was managing around 600-700 calories. He suggested I increase it to 1,000 calories. I do walk 3.5 miles 3-4 times a week. As increased my calories I did notice that I felt better and the headaches went away for the most part.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
