I just wondered if anyone else had this. I've had 3 fills now, and after each one, I've got a killer headache for the rest of the day. I have had to take painkillers for it, but once I've gone to sleep, I wake up the next day fine.

Is that usual? Does anyone know what causes it?

Can't help you there. What does your Dr say?

I'm seeing him again tomorrow and will ask him what he thinks.

I have no idea what causes it but every time i get a fill- for the last 2 years i have had the band- i get that headach and i have heard some other do also. I take an excedrian or headach med before i go in now- tends to help some but something i have just learend to deal with and get my fills late in the after noon now. Good news- it goes away by teh next morning-- not to terrible to deal with!

Stress! This whole experience is a much bigger emotional upheaval than we really want to realize!

That happens to me too. I chalk it up to being on liquids, since it doesn't happen if I've had a decent meal before the fill.

Hm, each time I've had a fill, I've had breakfast beforehand, so I don't think it's from liquids... I forgot to ask my doctor yesterday because I ended up not getting a fill, so I'll have to try to remember next time I see him!
