Well I've joined the group as a brand spanking new bandster. The surgery went well but I did have problems with dry heaves. I also have had a nasty headache which I think might be caused from the anesthesia. I'm not on any pain med's because they tend to give me headaches as well. Anybody else deal with post-op headaches?

I'm just happy to done with this and home in my own bed. I have tenderness but am not in any real pain. If I lay down, I feel no pain at all.

I"m on the clear liquid diet part and have to say I am a little hungry for real food but I suppose that will go away with time.

All in all, I'd say it was a fairly simple procedure. The 6 months prior was the hard part.:cursing:

Glad you are feeling good and glad to hear about your surgery. It is always good to hear that things went well. I will be banded in about three weeks and I hope my surgery goes as well as yours!

Caffeine withdrawal gives nasty headaches. Is that possibility?

I got banded last Thursday and had nausea afterward as well as a head ache...I had a headache on and off for the first 3 to 4 days after surgery....Best Katheen

yep, the caffiene withdrawal is a possiblity as well as going off my estrace and going off sugar. I just hope this doesn't last too long. I'm guessing it won't. Thanks for the response.

Caffeine, sugar (carbohydrate) withdrawal can be a killer ... drink as much water as you can, and it will pass in a few days.
