mbabercrombie 13 Posted November 12, 2012 Can I take anything for my headache? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earwood 136 Posted November 12, 2012 Of course, check with your doctor, but I don't remember being told to avoid any medications in my post-op instructions. I would avoid aspirin or anything that thins the blood since your tummy is healing but don't think there should be a problem with anything else. I had a caffiene headache for a few days after surgery but the medication they gave me for pain took care of that with no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsShaunaMarie 82 Posted November 12, 2012 Tylenol should be fine, it was good to take pre op 2 wks before, its been my lifesaver surgery is in 2 days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iegal 460 Posted November 12, 2012 Be careful ladies. With VSG we will need to avoid NSAID's for life as these can cause issues with our new tummies. This should be in your VSG preop/post op instructions or in the complications section. Luckily as MsShauna said, Tylenol is not a NSAID. Saying that, Advil is a NSAID. You could have headaches due to: Lack of caffeine or not enough liquid, so try to up you intake of Water if you are not getting enough. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon! 1 slimagainsoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

koseck 0 Posted November 12, 2012 Hi, I had a nagging headache about two weeks after surgery, my doc said it was because I wasn't getting any carbs at all. Started drinking diluted apple juice (1/3 apple juice and the rest water), headache was gone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
