  2. Post-Op Day 4 & I Have Serious....

    erikadawn replied to aldmb2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am post-op day 5, and I have been suffering from the worst headaches of my life. In my case, I think it is from the pain meds (vicodin). It gives me horrible nightmares, which make me clench my jaw when I sleep, which causes headaches. I stopped taking the vicodin because I can deal with stomach pain over headaches. Good luck to you!

  3. Pain Question

    erikadawn posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am four days post op, and I have pain in the right side of my abdomen. Is this normal? Should I be worried about a hernia? Any advice would help.

    Hi! I had my gastric sleeve surgery on Tuesday. It is now Friday and I am done with the nausea (thank goodness). I had a typical stay in the hospital (surgery on Tuesday, home on Thursday). My only compliant is that the right side of my abdomen is very sore. Is that common? I've heard all the scary stories of hernias and such. Any opinions?
