I am a huge coffee drinker too and I actually started to drink smaller amounts of caffeine each week so I wouldn't have to deal with caffeine headaches. I did drink caffeine up to the day before my surgery. My doctor said to not have caffeine for the first two weeks after surgery and slowly work it back in after that. My headaches are much better now and the pain in my left shoulder is gone, so I am really happy about that. Good luck with your surgery on 12/9. Being stuck drinking liquids for two weeks is tough because there isn't much variety but the band is working so I can't complain.

I just got my band in on 10/29 and have experienced really bad headaches as well. I figure the anesthesia must have something to do with it. I also have had the chest pain, but mainly on the left side which my doctor said will happen and last about 1 week. Have you been experiencing times where you get really cold? Take care and I hope you feel well soon.
