Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I had that problem and found out I have severe sleep apnea and that is what causes the headaches. Have you been tested for that yet? Alice hardestyal hardesty@... headache I am pre-op, due for surgery on June 1st. I am wondering what pain medications are allowed after surgery...not for surgery pain, but for regular headaches and such. I wake up with a headache almost every morning. I don't know if it is how I sleep, my pillow, or what, but I start my day with a couple of tylenol. What do post-ops due for those pesky smaller aches and pains...not migranes, just regular headaches? Cindy Mother of Many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 http://www.gastricbypassfamily.com/Avoid.html has the list of medicines we can't have. In my experience, each surgeon has different ideas on what we CAN have. An example, mine told me that I could use Tylenol Allergy/Sinus, but my friend can't have anything that is two meds mixed, and my other friend can't have anything in pill form at all. You should ask your surgeon. They're usually pretty happy to answer any questions. in Indiana Open RNY 2/25/04 265.4/219/135 5'5 " -- headache I am pre-op, due for surgery on June 1st.
