    Default Curious

    Had my surgery on mon, May 21. Two nights ago I started waking up in the middle of the night with a really bad headache. I cant sleep all night. Anyone else having this? Also wondering how long it took for everyone to feel "normal" again. I had a friend say she went back to work a week after her surgery. I know we all heal different, but Im just curious as to the average time span this pain could last.


    Highest weight: 336
    Weight just before surgery: 295
    Weight right after surgery: 301
    I believe I can!

    I have had a horrendous time sleeping. I am up all night and my days and nights are reversed. My surgeon refuses to release me back to work for four weeks. I feel ok to go back now, but I still have a week and three days left.

    I didn't have any problems sleeping and my pain was minimal. I took 3 weeks off work because I work 12 hr shifts and I'm on my feet a lot. Many people who work desk jobs go back much quicker. Generally the pain is just gas pains which are more of a general discomfort than real pain. But some people do get bad back pain or left shoulder pain which is referred nerve pain. What all this equals is everyone is different and there is no concrete answer. But within a month post op you really should be back to your old self for the most part.

    Peacemama did you wean off of caffine before your surgery? It could be that. Not sure where you live but it could also be related to dryness. I've had a couple of nasty ones this week from dry air. I hope you find relief and feel better soon.

    Headaches could be caused by dehydration. Are you getting in all your water? You might want to try to step that up a little and see if it helps. Good luck!
