Do fills/Stuck episodes cause headaches for anyone else?



Recommended Posts

I had my 2nd fill Friday (5CCs so far) and noticed I had a headache after, I had one after my first fill. I also recognize that the one or two times I had something that didn't go down well (so far no real stuck or sliming incidents) I got this same headache. It feels like pressure on my brain, and almost like a good sneeze or burp would help, but they don't. It went away a few hours after my fill.

Actually yes! I thought it was just me, but I do get headaches after fills and sometimes after eating. Strange!

I've had nasty headaches after my last two fills. The first one I figured wasn't related, but after the second i think they are related. I'm just about at the green zone, so hopefully I won't need another fill. Not sure what causes it, I know I'm getting enough Fluid it. I've never gotten one after being stuck.

I don't get headaches from the fills, but stuck episodes make me feel nauseated for sure. Pretty nasty feeling.

It depends if I eat or not before I go If I eat ten I don't get the headache If I do then sometimes just a little one then it passes if I don't eat then I get a big one so I try to eat a little one but it goes away fast , so the answer is sometimes lol , , but I would mention it when u go for ur flls. so they know.

Interesting, I always go after lunch time to get mine done. Maybe that's why I don't get a headache.

My next appointment is later in the day, I will test this theory.

So glad you ask this, had my first fill this afternoon and the headache started on my drive home. Wondered if it was having my head down so low when he was getting set to do the fill. Had only had a half a banana and some sobe life Water for lunch before the appt. Its all gone now. Was able to eat a regular dinner with no issues.

I am not a doctor, but consider this... The vagus nerve comes from brain stem and part of its path is on or around the top of the stomach. Perhaps a tiny squeeze aggravates it enough to cause a headache! Honestly i dont know but it is a thought.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
