Anyone Have Headaches Post Op?



Recommended Posts

Well, I am four weeks out, and have started to have headaches for some reason. At first, I thought it was a blood sugar thing (had diabetes before surgery), but I checked my blood sugar and its not that.

Anyway, just wanted to check to see if anyone else started having headaches at the three week time frame. Weight loss is great, and everything else is going wonderfully.

Thanks.

If you could post what he says about it, I would really appreciate it. I had my three week appointment last week, but wasnt having a headache at the time, so I forgot to ask! :)

Oilsooner, bc your surgeon knows your medical history, I would call them lst thing in the am. I'm 4 months out and have always gotten Migraines before sleeve. I haven't had a Migraine since just a couple of stress HA's. I had a really bad one when I got home from the hospital and took some Loratab and the HA went away. ;)

I bet you're dehydrated. Are you drinking the amt of Water they tell us to drink each day?

My headaches are caused by being dehydrated. The doctor said to stop focusing on eating and worry about my fluids. I get a lot of my Protein from drinking milk which counts towards my Fluid intake. It is challenging every day to drink but it has helped my headaches.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
