Second day of MediTrim and I've got some wicked headaches



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

So it's Day 2 of MediTrim and I've got some wicked headaches... Like crazy. Last night I had to wake up 3 times to get Tylanol. I normally get wicked headaches instead of getting sick and stuff, but these headaches were so bad that they actually woke me up. icon_confused.gif In the past I've had headaches wake me up, maybe once a night, but never three times.

I'm going to call the office and ask her if there is anything I can do. But did anyone else ever experience this?:)

Oh no - that scares me. I haven't started my pre-op yet b/c I think my doctor only requires a week. That is one thing I worry about. I get horrible headaches and I don't need them anymore than I have too. Especially with work and I will be camping the weekend before my surgery. Yuck!!! I hope not.

Be careful with taking all that tylenol. They have just come out with warnings. Tylenol can damage your liver if you take too much. They are saying that 1000 mg at one time (2 extra strength) or more than 4000 mg/day is too much. They are going to issue new box warnings. Maybe there is something safer the doctor can give you. Are you a caffeine drinker who is now off of it? That can cause headaches. I hope you feel better.

So I talked to my clinic and she said that what I'm going through is perfectly normal. So I'm really happy about that! However my head still hurts.

Thanks for all your help!

Sincerely,

I don't drink coffee, but I do like my pop and chocolate.< /p>

Probably not caffeine then. I will hopefully be at the pre-op in a few months. I did a similar thing when I went into the Air Force. With a drastic change in calories your body will do all kinds of things. Headaches are common and they will pass. The first days Are very tuff but you will get to the point you aren't feeling that bad.

      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?
