Hey guys! I've had my band since 2009, and I got a fill yesterday and have had a killer headache since. I've tried everything from coffee, water, sleep, hot bath, pain killers.. Etc, and nothing seems to help. I've never had this happen before. ( and I've had numerous fills and unfills!) . Has anyone else experienced this? What helps it?

I know sometimes there is a nerve that gets pinched by the band that causes people shoulder pain. Maybe it's possible that this last fill tightened on the nerve?

Shoot!! Do you think it will go away on its own? Or will I have to go back in for an unfill?

I dont know if it is the fill or just timing but last time I went for a fill I got a horrible migraine. Since I fly to my surgeon I asked him if he could prescribe me a pill so I could make it back home. He said it is very common and prescribed me a nose spray. He said it knocks headaches right out and won't make the band tighten or stomache irritation. He was telling the truth!!! I carry it with me now. I can't say it was the fill because I fly there so there are a lot of changes with altitude, allergies, stress, etc but the spray is wonderful. I also didn't realize how much headache medicine (NSAIDS) was messing with my band until I stopped taking them.
