I have been having extreme headaches for the past two weeks. Today I woke up with a headache and it has been horrible. I haven't been able to eat or drink all day. It feels like my head is going to explode. I am just wondering if this has anything to do with the surgery. Has anyone else had this issue? I definitely will be calling my doctor tomorrow. I just am worried and scared this was not a problem I was expecting.

Darling those headaches suck! I went through them too and visited my doctor after reading about anything and everything about headaches. What I learned is that a magnesium shortage is commonly shown through headaches, Migraines at that. After WLS they are common and it can take months to build your magnesium back up to proper levels on our diet.

You can take shots, which DH swears by, but I am using a magnesium oil spray daily. I started a couple of weeks ago and my headaches are GONE! I posted about them on MFP because I was having such trouble with them. Testing for a magnesium deficiency is a special test, which I'll have done next trip to the doc, but I swear by the oil. It's a spray I just do in the morning and evening (no residue) that I got at a health food store. It works much faster than supplements because of how it's absorbed. Epson salt baths will do the same thing...but I have a 7 year old and never time for a bath LOL You might give this a try. I'm amazed how fast it cured me :)

Thanks I will check on these issues with my doctor. I have had cluster headaches when I was younger but haven't had them for about 20 years so I am hoping they have not returned. I also got very bad headaches before I was diagnosed with high blood pressure but once I started my medication they went away. I will check on the magnesium and also know I am not getting enough Water so I will try harder on that.I should of gone to the doctor today but felt to terrible to get dressed and would have had to find someone to drive me because I was in no condition to drive. I feel better now but am afraid to go to bed because the headaches seem to wake me up from a sound sleep.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
