headaches after fill

[SuzyMarie 17]

I had surgery 11/12 and down 50 pounds, started at 243 and today weighed in at 193! I have had two fills, first was 5 wks after surgery and 2nd was 2 wks ago. My band is a 10cc and I'm at 5.2, the last fill was only .2, since then I have had headaches and stomach cramps after I eat and I'm concerned its related to my fill. My first fill was too much and they had to remove some, I had immediately felt sick and couldn't eat without getting nauseated Has anyone else experienced headaches after a fill? My next one is in 2 wks and I'm debating if I should wait that long for my appt. I appreciate any advice/help!

Well first off, Congrats on the weight loss! So exciting!

Could you be dehydrated? I get headaches when I am dehydrated. If your are too tight then maybe you are not getting enough fluids. I always say if you are not sure why not call your doctor and ask. Good luck!

The vegus nerve runs from your stomach to your head. It is possible with the increased pressure to have headaches from a fill.

I also get headaches if I have not drank enough Water. Congrats on your weight loss you are doing great! I also agree if you are concerned call your doctor.

I drink Water all day long and even have increased it bc of my concern... I can def tell my band is tighter now, its almost uncomfortable at times

I had a fill yesterday and I have had a headache ever since. It could be because I haven't had caffeine in a few days. I usually drink iced tea. Also, I've felt a little nauseated but I don't know if that is from the fill or because there is a stomach virus going around. My youngest daughter was sick last week with it. Just wanted to see if anyone has had any nausea after a fill.

I would be careful with that, after my first fill I got super nauseated after I ate and my chest started hurting. Turns out, I had too much of a fill. Just keep an eye out, stick to your liquids!

Definitely the fill could be causing your headaches. I have had my band for 6 years and have never been able to keep a fill. No matter how small a fill I get I have shoulder, neck, and jaw pain along with a headache. Don't torture yourself, if it isn't gone by tomorrow, get into the doctor to get some out. Listen to your body, its telling you something isn't right! Good Luck!

Call your doctor and check in.

I definitely think that my headache and nausea was due to the virus that has been going around our community. I feel great now.

Still experiencing headaches after every time I eat, I will def be calling the doc on Monday, its been going on for 3 weeks now and I'm pretty sure its band related. Maybe I will just always be good at 5cc and i didnt need that extra .2!
