angry 158 Posted August 18, 2013 I had my surgery 8/16. Surgeon said everything went great, I have no real complaints my incisions arent too bad. I feel pretty full and have only been able to drink one Protein Shake and some Water but I am having the worst headache and I cant seem to shake it. Yesterday I was taking pain meds just for my headache and my bp was pretty high because I didnt have my meds in the hospital. I took my bp meds today but when I left the hospital it was still pretty high. No real stomach problems other than feeling lots of fullness and pressure inside my stomach, other than this headache. I took 2 tylenol and I am just laying around but I feel like I should be exercising and moving around. Anybody have headache issues? Any suggestions to get rid of it? How bad is it if I dont exercise yet? I was walking a mile a day in the hospital trying to work out the gas and I dont want to fall back into not exercising, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michellemo 161 Posted August 18, 2013 I had a horrible headache for about 3 days after surgery. It came from my neck and up the back of my head. Thank god it finally left! Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catherine707 253 Posted August 18, 2013 Drink Water, lots of water, your body is trying to get rid of the anesthesia and needs hydration. Being dehydrated can also cause headaches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ballermom 803 Posted August 18, 2013 Suffer with Migraine headache but had only 1 real Headache 5 1/2 months out way better! I say yes Dehydration is the cause. I had to go to the ER with mine before vsg and they gave me IV fluids and potassium. So do Loads of Water and low cal Gatorade. I agree could be caffeine withdrawal as well. Feel better!
