Fill, Fill, And Unfill Within 2 Days

I went to the doctor the other day for a fill. He put in .5cc. Prior to this appointment, I could eat anything. I was explaining that to the doctor and he said well, if you want I can put in more. I said sure, why not. I mean, I had 4.25 in a 10cc band and had zero restriction. (This was my fourth fill). So he got another needle and put in the other .5cc. Now I was at 5.25cc. I swallowed some Water before I left so I thought I was ok. Fast forward a few hours later and I could barely swallow saliva. I decided to give it time to settle and see how I felt the next day. Well, that was no better. I ate nothing and had my first sliming incident (which was weird because there was no food in me). I went back the following day (two days after the two fills) and he took out .5cc. So now I'm at 4.75 and have been able to drink and eat fluids. (I haven't tried anything else yet).

Given that situation, my port has been stuck with a needle three times in two days. It is now very, very sore. I know after one needle stick you can be sore and/or irritated, much less three needle sticks. So the question is, has anyone else had several needle sticks in their port in a very short period of time? Aside from the soreness, did you have any other lasting effects or was any damage done?
