Hi there,

I've been banded 10 months now, I've had 7 cc in a 10 cc band (most recently .25 cc 5 days ago). I've lost 45 pounds (which I'm very, very pleased with, as I started with a 34 BMI).

I have always (pre-banding included) been prone to sinus headaches. Since being banded, and especially in the last few weeks, I've noticed a connection between when I eat, and the onset of sinus pain. Bizarre, right?? But honestly, I've noticed they seem to be related! Since my last fill, I've had major sinus pain, barely controllable with sinus meds, and it's worse when I eat.
Has anyone ever experienced/ heard of this before? Or am I seeing a relationship that doesn't exist?

Your input and experience would be welcomed!
Jaymie

Could very well be a relationship. I know that I have had issues with a runny nose and even a sort of ice-cream headache after eating. It happened more in the beginning but I still get it on a tight day. I have spoken to others in the past that have had similar exoeriences,
