I did wake up with a headache but I think it's cuz of the way I was sleeping. I took a Vicodin (crushed up... yuck) and slept a little. Still have a headache but now I'm drinking Gatorade and eating some dry Kix and Honey Bunches of Oats. Feeling so much better!

I haven't had that surgery, just a bowel re-section to remove parts of my large and small intestines due to Crohn's. The after-effects are very similar to gall bladder surgery though and they often put people like me on the same meds.. Welchol or Questran to absorb the fats that the bile can't bind too. It's just for different reasons.
