Hello team,

My wife is 24 hours post op, now her blood pressure is slightly elevated, just ever so slightly, but it's causing her a headache that won't go away.

Any prior experience with this?

Thanks

I did not experience this effect after surgery.

When I entered the pre-op stage, I gave up all carbonated beverages and caffeine. I ended my 6 diet coke a day habit. I suffered severe withdrawal syndrome from giving up the caffeine. This caused great headaches and body aches for about a week. Generally giving up caffeine is a prerequisite to the surgery. So might this be the cause.

you're inside a hospital, surrounded by doctors and nurses, all with training and experience with post-operative bariatric patients...

and you're asking people on the internet for help with your wife's high blood pressure?

She's already been released, why the sarcasm though? Thought we were here to ask for help and be helped

Pain raises blood pressure. Just help keep her as comfortable as possible.

I had a caffeine withdraw headache for a few days post op. I agree, have her tale the pain meds. I took them regularly for the first few days then alternated with liquid Tylenol if the pain was mild.
