I had my second fill today - my doc does not use flouro. Apparently I'm one of his "difficult" patients that he has a hard time filling. I have to lay down on a pillow with a Dallas phone book under it for him to try and find my port. Then he sticks me several times and today he even asked the nurse for a different size needle! Anyway, after my first fill I was able to drink a whole cup of Water with no problem. This was 3 wks ago. As of the first part of this week, I was able to eat a hamburger with no problem, so I decided to get another fill. After the torture of today's fill, I drank a sip of water and felt restriction. They said "Great, see you in a month" and I was on my way. Now I've been trying to drink some juice and keep feeling like I need to burp, and have pressure in my throat. I've never PB'd so I don't know how that feels, but I don't like the way I am right now. I was wondering if I would feel better if I tried hot liquids. I don't want to go back to the doc for an unfill unless I absolutely have to. It takes 3 hours of time away from work, not to mention the discomfort. I need to know if most people feel this way right after a fill, and if I will do better in a few days, or if you think I may need to go back. My doc's going to be out of town for the next 2 wks, so I'll have to see him tomorrow if I'm going to. - Thanks!!
