Had a .5 cc fill last Wednesday. Felt fine until Friday afternoon. Friday evening had throat pain, tightness in chest/ band, and gas pains. Yesterday at noon I was back in the office for an unfill. They took the .5 cc out and said to come back in a week. Never threw up and could still drink liquids...it just hurt. I am still sore today but not in pain.

Anyone else have this soreness and how long did it last after your unfill?

I called today and asked for a barium swallow order just to take a look at everything and will be getting one tomorrow. Thank God I work at a hospital or my paranoia would be 10 x's worse

My surgeon always has his patients drink clear liquids for 2 days and full liquids for 2 days just like when you get a fill. Only time I did not do this was when I had not eaten in days. But, you will be swollen, so stick to liquids until swelling goes down.Karen

Sore? Where? In the band area or where your port is?

The band/stomach area
