I was banned 6/26/12, everything has been great except for a few issues. So last Friday I got my last large fill 2cc for a total of 7cc, my doc said from now on 1/2 cc fills. She said I prolly would be super tight with this last fill that I wouldn't be able to get solids down until after noon, from combo of fill and morning tightness. But NO! Total opposite! This is the first time I've felt like I'm starving, my stomach is even making hungry noises. My ankles started swelling and gained 4 to 5 lbs. I called my doc to get a appointment for an early fill and was denied by front desk personnel. so I don't get in to MD for another 8 days. Please help with any suggestions. I feel very heavy, swollen and depressed! Same way I felt before surgery.
