I had a massive Migraine the day after surgery. I tried to stay hydrated as well, but also took a pain pill & it eventually helped. It was the only pain pill I ever took.

Get a cold wash cloth & put it over your forehead & stay in a dark room.

Feel better !

Just curious...did you do a pre op liquid diet? Or stop caffeine or sugar preop? I ask because it sound like the same type of symptoms as when you elimate those things from your diet....if it is it should pass soon. Take some liquid Tylenol to help you get through it.

Also consider the anesthesia stays in your body for quite some time. After major surgery I had a reaction like this. Dark room, cold washcloth, no noise. If you get it under control, stay on top of the pain by taking meds on time. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Thanks everyone, I scheduled a deep tissue massage this am with my therapist, luckily she is a good friend whom is not into Black Friday shopping.

My surgeon never put me on any special diet before the banding so I could also be going thru caffeine withdraw.

Caffeine pill I had a severe Migraine also!

Sorry I had to have my chai tea (us) this am, i know it's not permitted but that's one thing I cannot sacrifice due to the caffeine.

I kept getting Migraines as well fearing it was the caffeine. Found I was having a reaction to the liquid pain meds they gave me. Side effect was headaches! Wish id of known that prior to taking more of the pain Med thinking it was gonna help with the headache!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
