Please HELP!

I had my fourth fill last week on Tuesday. Was at 6.4ml pre-fill, and they topped it off to 7.0ml. I immediately felt tight, but thought it was best to keep quiet. I am an aggressive person, and have yet to achieve real tightness or good restriction. I live 400 miles away from the lady that does the fills. Tuesday evening was difficult, and I was unable to take more than a small sip of water every 1-2 minutes. There is absolutely no way that I could try taking in any food. On Wednesday and Thursday things did not improve. Friday, I had to catch a plane to a family vacation, and was starting to get worried. I called around to my local ER, and nobody would help:( Understandable I guess, seeing as nobody here has even heard of the procedure. (Ilive in a small town, and travelled 2000 miles to have the surgery done.) I called the lady that did my fill for me, and she was out of town and unable to help. I went on the trip, and although I tried to stay upbeat, it was horrible. I spent all mealtimes in the room by myself crying because I was sooooo hungry. I can not even drink milk or coffee. I can only sip water. I just flew home tonight, and cannot get a hold of the lady that did my fill. I am soooo hungry. I feel disorientated, and weak, and so darn hungry. I am pretty sure that the answer is obvious, but could someone please confirm that I am too tight? I don't know how this can be good for me if I can't even drink, let alone eat. Today is Wednesday, and I had the fill done last Tuesday. Since that fill, I have lost 15 pounds. I weighed 214, and tonight I am 199. Can someone please help me by telling me if I need to wait this out, or seek for help now?

Thanks for the concern, I really appreciate it. Being fairly new at this whole band thing has got me on such a roller coaster, and that is why I look to this board. I really am looking for advice. I was a little scared myself, but more hungry than anything. And, tonight ... I am wishing that I would have shut up, and just lived with the restriction that I had, because at this very moment, I have zilch. Arghhhh, so off I go tomorrow, to call the clinic and the nurse, and beg for another fill. This game is really making me tired and frustrated. I am sure it will not be a shock the more experienced banders, but the fifteen pounds I lost in one week .... well guess what? I found them :(. What a roller coaster:faint:
