Had my 4th fill today (im 6 mths out) felt fine when i left the dr office but i started having a bad headache. Could it b the starting of a cold r could it b an overfill? Thanks ;)

I've not heard of a headache being a sign of being overfilled. Can you drink Water easily?

What would you have attributed the headache to before you got the band? It's an easy trap to fall into, thinking that every ache or pain is related to the band, but in most cases, it will be something completely separate.

Hope your headache improves quickly.

If you can drink and eat just fine I would say its possible that an over fill is not the issue. It could very well be seasonal/allergies or a cold of some sort, maybe even stress.

Hope you feel better soon.

Listen I am 3 yrs post op from surgery, went 2 yrs without a fill due to no job-no insurance. I can't wait till October for my benefits to kick in & then I will be getting my fills again I hope. I've maintained my weight for those 2 yrs; haven't reached my ideal weight hopefully I will reach it by December

I used to get headache As well. I wasn't getting enough Protein. Try Protein Shots. Find them at health food stores or online. They may help or drink more protein.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
