Banded on 7/12/11, battling headaches everyday, and I don't see how it could be from dehydration. Anyone else going through this. Also cannot burp! I get a feeling in my chest like I'm going to, and then a pain that fades. Please tell me this passes...

Were you a coffee drinker who gave it up? Withdrawals from caffeine can be horrid. The pain from the gas should get better each day. Many use Gas-X strips to help it along. I used a heating pad. Walking can really help that pain, it gets things moving. You don't have to power walk or go for long periods. Just move around your living room as much as you can for a few minutes at a time.

Did you have a hiatal hernia repair at the time of your banding? That can add to your recovery. I hope you feel better soon!!

Caffeine withdrawal is a HUGE headache issue also have you checked your Blood Pressure - sometimes when it is too high you will suffer headaches as well

I got headaches from my change in diet (no caffeine, greatly reduced sugar). And I had to work at burping in the beginning- really stretch out my jaw and esophagus to get the burp out.

I had my band placed 4 days ago. Had to stay in hospital over night. I am moving great but feel scared. I feel like I am having panic attachs. Very weak. Is it normal to feel this scared?

It's understandable to feel scared. You're moving great - so why are you scared? If you are feeling really weak, are you getting in your Protein shakes or whatever your doctor has on his plan? I found that I had a terrible headache right after being banded and felt weak - I drank a small glass of low sugar apple juice and felt much better.

You're doing ok. Your body has been through a lot during surgery - just rest as much as you can - it will help the healing process.

Not afraid, but I'm already taking Zoloft, so that may be why. (I've had panic attacks before, they are no joke) I have had some what the hell was I thinking moments, why does everyone on TV have to eat?

Talking with people, even reading this board, and seeing that some people are experiencing what I am, makes me feel better. Please feel free to reach out to me any time you want to talk.

Deb, are the headaches better at this time. I judt got banded and

I feel afraid. How are you..?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
