I am finding that when something wont go down right and gets a little stuck I get a very sharp pain in my head it isnt like a headache it's just a horrible sharp pain does anyone else get this :huggie: :rose: And if so why does it happen?

I don't have this problem but I've talked with others and have heard all kinds of symptoms from stuck food. My things are usually runny nose, hiccups and bad chest pain! My guess is if you are sure that it ONLY happens when you have something stuck then it's probably just another bandster thing that happens to us! However, bad headaches should be taken seriously especially if it happens at other times. I'd still mention it to someone to be sure.

Yes yes yes

I get the same pain in my head and I am so glad I am not alone. I get it by my temple on one side. Yesterday I had to puke for the first time since banding cause I was stuck and the pain in my head was great. It never went away even though I got the stuck food out and it turned into a whopper of a Migraine. First time I had to bring food back up though. Usually the headache goes away when the hurting food goes down......

Lapbandit, That was my thoughts exactly but while I was browsing the forum I didn't see anyone mention about the sharp pain in the head so I was starting to think I was weird or it was my imagination. It only happens when something doesn't go down right..

Vintagehound, Thank you so much for posting it's good to know I am not the only one.. The way you explained it is EXACTLY the way it happens for me. I to get it near my temple it feels like a constant brain freeze a nasty pain. Atleast now I know it's normal I will still ask my surgeon why it happens just to gain some insight on it..

Thanks for posting guys I appreciate it :(

Yes, I get the same thing. It's a sharp pain in my left temple. For me, it's a sign that I ate too much more than I got stuck. I started measuring my quantities and making sure to eat less than a cup at a time (could vary for you, of course) and that completely alleviated the problem.

Good luck!

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

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
