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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
