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!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
