    eplawson posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    HI everyone! I was sleeved on Tuesday - feeling really good since then. Getting all my liquids in - but this morning I have a very odd metal taste in my mouth. Any ideas? Has anyone had this? Thank you

    That's my doctor! I'm getting sleeved on Nov 20th. I've heard great things about him. I'm so nervous - are you doing well? Was there any pain? I"m thinking I'll take off a week from work. I am 5'3" and 202 right now hoping to drop 60-70 lbs. So excited to hear input from someone else regarding Dr. B and share your experience!!! OMG I want to know everything

    That's my doctor! I'm getting sleeved on Nov 20th. I've heard great things about him. Were you on a pre-op diet? I'm talking to Stephanie today about diet but need to get some parameters from her before 11.20. I'm so nervous - are you doing well? Pain? Still at the hospital? OMG I want to know everything

  32. Hunger Headaches After Vsg

    eplawson replied to Jessica9190's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I'm so glad I found this - I am also worried about this. I get headaches to the point of them becoming migraines when i don't eat and that has me SO worried. My surgery is scheduled for 11/20 and honestly that's one of my biggest concerns. I appreciate the input from everyone and WILL cut out the caffeine - that's a really good point! I'm not on a pre-op diet (other than restrict carbs) I think it's because I'm hovering at 202-205 right now...but maybe if I start some of the changes now it will be easier after surgery! Thank you again!
