I had a Nissen Fundoplication surgery at the same time my gallbladder was removed in 2001. .. so I am a few years back and hazy on some of it.

With the surgery your digestive system is going through a big change, It is a slim chance but the anesthesia could still be affecting you.

Your doctor probably gave you instructions on diet. Right now you should probably be on blenderized or to the soft diet. It varies on progression from person to person. If you are nauseous you may be eating too much at one time. Don't expect to eat 3 meals a day. Eat a little bit every 2-3 hours during the day and stop eating about 2-3 hours before bed.

Being nauseous can bring on a headache. Vomiting and trying not to both can contribute to it. As you know with migraines the headache can cause nausea. Did your doctor prescribe something for nausea? If not ask for something.

I haven't used any pills for nausea in several months. My husband bought a Relief Band (with replaceable batteries) for me off Amazon and it helps with nausea and headaches… it is worn like a watch and works like a TENS machine. I was surprised it helped. I thought I was probably just throwing money out the window.

To me your headache sounds like it is coming from your neck. During surgery they do not put a nice fluffy pillow under your head. They put a stiff foam wedge under your head. When I had a hysterectomy I awakened with a bad headache … weeks later it was still there and I could not turn my head much by then. I saw my family doctor who referred me to a neurosurgeon who ordered x-rays and MRI.. I think bone spur and bulging disc at the time is what they showed. He ordered physical therapy .. which in 1997 at the facility I went to was lying on a table listening to sounds like the ocean and birds, etc, which irritated me instead of relax me and a bit of massage which did nothing.

After a few months I went back to my family doctor I had then who is a DO (osteopathic.. he loved sports medicine) I was in my early 40s then. He told me what he wanted to do. At that point I would try most anything. I hung my head off the edge of the exam table and he rolled my head around and around in his big hands and then gave my head a jerk… The LOUDEST noise I have ever heard.. and from my neck! but it put my neck back into alignment. He told me to never let anyone twist any part of me like that again… your bones are not great. It was great to not have a headache.

So a chiropractor might be someone to see. (I hear they don't do a lot of twisting nowadays) You might want to have your family doctor or an orthopedist order an x-ray before seeing a chiropractor.

I hope you find relief soon.
