I was sleeved 2 days ago on 5/10. I came home yesterday and have generally been doing pretty well. I'm halfway to my protein and water goals so far today. My only complaints are this EXTREMELY noisy tummy and a headache. Im assuming the tummy noise is mostly gas and I'm relieved to not be in any pain but any idea of when I can expect things to settle down? How about the headache? Did anyone else have that?

Do you have an acid reducer to take? That may help. The headache is probably either a reaction to anesthesia or more likely a little dehydration if you're not able to get enough fluids. I would think it'll get better once you're able to drink more. Good luck!

Mine grumbles like an old man with an entire school on his lawn. Everything I ingest causes burps.


Meh.

On the headache, I get those when I haven't been drinking enough.

Your intestines have to wake up from all the narcotics. When they are all out your system and your intestines can function normally it will stop. If you are on pain meds, it won't stop until you after you stop them.

Your headache could be like mine from low oxygen, I am 3 days out 5/10 I have been working hard at getting my breather stronger. Walk more and use the breathing thing they gave you in the hospital.

After two days of noting when the headaches come and go, I'm pretty sure it's a side effect of the oxycodone. I'm going to try weaning off those for both my bowels and my head's sake.

I'm pretty sure I could start a sound effects studio with the noises generated by my belly these days. :-)

Had surgery on Tuesday and it sounds like 2 orcas mating in my tummy lol
