Headache Preop

My headache didn't start until AFTER the surgery. I think the anesthetist had a cocktail mixture that I didn't handle well. Mine lasted 3 whole days. Could it be caffeine withdrawal? You need to mention it to your surgeon prior to surgery though, just so he/she is aware.

I had caffeine withdrawal for the first three days, but this is day 11 of the liquid diet preop. I am hoping that it will be gone before Sunday when I do the all clear diet. How was your surgery experience?

I had a migraine every. friggin. day. of pre-op. I had to pay out of pocket for my migraine meds because insurance will only cover 9 pills a month.

I finally got rid of the headache. I drank a lot of fluids and took a Xanax for anxiety, that seemed to relax my neck, & shoulders, and gave me some relief.

Glad to know your headache went away. Good luck to you!

Thank you! The trick is to stay very hydrated while on the liquid diet.
