Overfilled

Yesterday morning I tried eating some yogurt for breakfast. I had very good restrictions. This was the first time after a fill that I actually felt like I had restriction. The feelings reminded me of my first few days post-op. It took me about an hour to eat 4oz of yogurt. Later in the day I started having some pain when I was sipping water. I held off eating anything else until dinner time. At that point I tried to eat some soup. The liquid was very hard to get down and immediately I felt pain. The night before I had no problems eating and was surprised that I was having difficulties. I couldn't even handle eating a sugar free popsicle.

This morning I woke up to the same problem. Everytime I attempt to sip any water, I get pain immediately. I spend the next 15 minutes spitting my own saliva in a cup because swallowing that is painful.

I broke down and called the doctor tonight. I'll be meeting him in the ER tomorrow morning to get some taken out. I'll make sure I update you all on how I'm doing after the fill. I'm really looking forward to drinking water again! Plus I'm so happy that I have a doctor that is willing to go out of his way for me on a Sunday morning.

i had a fill thursday and i hadn't had one since april. i thought i had found my right spot but over several months i gained weight and decided it was time to go back. i was hungry all the time.

on thursday evening i was fine to drink Water but since then i have not been able to keep anything down. i know i'm getting dehydrated because i can't drink. i feel like i have a lump in my throat all day long. i know the first few days have been a little rough with fills in the past but this one seems worse.

any similar experiences? should i try to get an unfill? all i want to do is drink water!

Tony, I would definitely call your doctor. I had an overfill and it wasn't a fun time. I kick myself for not calling him sooner.
