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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
