First fill = headache??



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 weeks post op and had my first fill today. I had 3.5 cc put in at surgery and 1cc added today. Ever since the fill I've had a headache, which liquid tylenol hasn't helped. Could this be fill related or is it just a coincidence (maybe allergies)? Thanks!

I think it may be hunger because I'm definitely hungry! I hate liquids only. My BP was kinda low. Could that cause headaches? I found the liquid Tylenol at CVS pharmacy. It's their brand. Wish I could find grape flavored because this cherry makes me want to throw up!

It hurt a little while she was trying to find the middle of my port with the needle. Only one stick, but a lot of moving around of the needle inside. I felt a little heaviness or pressure in the middle of my chest for a couple hours after the fill. I think that was swelling. After that I felt great. Good luck!

that liquid cherry at cvs is yucky.. tastes like Nyquil or cough Syrup. but that's the only flavor I found.

I hate needles and felt nothing during fill... My dr hands hurt more when she was feeling for port but not bad at all

It's horrible! The first drink takes me breath away and I almost choke. Most of the time I suffer through my headache instead of taking that crap. Why the heck can't tylenol make tiny pills???

      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.
