I am 4 days out and I kind of have headaches too. I am in the Houston area, and I think it is related to the weather. My doc allowed me to resume using Flonase. Do you have those problems in San Antonio? It's a little drier there, but nonetheless there have been clouds moving in and out all week.

I agree with Lilee! If you're are getting your fluids in and headaches come and go, it could very well be the cafeine withdrawal. I hope you feel better soon! Mostly I wanted to congratulate you and send you well wishes!!!! Welcome to the losers bench! :-)

I totally forgot that I wouldn't be able to have caffeine after surgery and I'm sure my headaches afterward were because of that. If I'd thought about it, I would have tapered it off instead of going cold turkey. Ouch!!

The good thing is, although I have an occasional cup of coffee or latte, I can take it or leave it now and I like that.

Caffeine is a powerful drug and I'd prefer not to have it in my body most of the time.

Onward,

CC

      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.
