Ok so I had my first fill 11/11/11...went home didn't have an issue for the first two days. Monday I couldn't consume any food for like the first half of the day. Then I ate a late lunch and the food felt like it came right back up but just sit in the top of my throat and don't want to come out. This has been happening for the whole week. I went to see my doc and told him about the problem, oh I even develop this dry cough that I never I had before and a crazy mood swing. He told me he was going to take some out because I guess my stomach is sensitive. When he went to take out some of the fill he was unable to find anything but air. He played around with it but nothing. So he went to call my surgeon in the other room to see if he was doing something wrong. Surgeon came in injected me with a new needle and started pushing down on the port....OMG!!! it hurts so bad. He was still not able to take out any liquid. What does this mean. Where did all this fluid go. All they where able to get out was air. Seriously WTF!!! Now I am moody, hungry but can't eat and have to go do an XRAY and have to wait another week to see the doc. I am pissed off. Has anyone had this issue before?
