worst headache ever



Recommended Posts

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,

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!

Drink Water, lots of water, your body is trying to get rid of the anesthesia and needs hydration. Being dehydrated can also cause headaches.

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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
