I am right at 2 months out, and I am 26 pounds down, however for the last 2 weeks I am having trouble with headaches. Everyday in the afternoon I an getting splitting headaches. Has anyone else found that they were getting headaches? Is there something my body is not getting? I shouldn't be in sugar, carb or caffeine withdrawal because it has been months since I've had any of those things and the headaches only started about 2 weeks ago. Any advice welcome thanks.

How is your Fluid intake? Are you getting the recommended 64 ounces in? Even if you are, maybe try getting in some more. Dehydration can cause headaches. Call you surgical team, in any case, so they know what is going on. They may be able to suggest treatments. Good luck to you!

I had this issue as well. I was taking in at least 100 Fluid ounces a day and getting in all of my Vitamins, Protein, etc. My surgeon suggested that I up my calorie intake. This was at my 3 month post op appt. I was managing around 600-700 calories. He suggested I increase it to 1,000 calories. I do walk 3.5 miles 3-4 times a week. As increased my calories I did notice that I felt better and the headaches went away for the most part.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
