I started getting The Worst headaches after my surgery - worse than Migraines. Turns out they were cluster headaches and I was given tramedol for pain and a pb medicine for a couple of weeks. I had some leftover pain medicine from my surgery and I was taking that before I went to the doctor and got the prescriptions.

My headaches have almost diminished since my surgery. I take extra strength Tylenol though when I need some. I am almost 8 months out so pills are no problem for me.

I've been taking tylenol. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I'm staying clear of caffeine right now but eventually I think that might help.

Yes I'm a newbie???? think its from laying in this bed or the sugar free Jello & Popsicles that has aspartame in it, that ingredient can cause headaches???? I know Tylenol is one of the safe meds just wondering if people was taking something different

Now, three months out, I take ibuprofen for headaches. I only get them very occasionally, and I was old it is ok if it is occasional. I find it works much better than Tylenol for me. I've taken it for various things a couple times with no ill effect.

      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.
