Feeling Too Tight and Stuck - like a clogged drain

[regina22 0]

I had my first fill 3 days ago (after a port revision surgery) and only have 3cc in a 10cc band. I am having a really hard time putting anything down (even water!). I am super thirsty and hungry but feel a tight pain in my chest like something is always getting stuck. is this normal, will it eventually give in? is it that maybe im still recovering? please advise.. should i go and get a cc taket out? i want to eat!

You should have had no problem drinking immediately after a fill. I would immediately call your doctor. If he does not tell you to come in for an immediate unfill, I'd go to the ER. You only have to go 3 days without Water before you die. Even if you're drinking enough to keep you from dying, you may not be drinking enough to stop damage to your organs. Call your doctor.

Are you having a hard time drinking Water at all or just drinking it fast (guzzling)?

I was very swollen after my last fill to the point where I could not chug Water like I usually do but if I took my time it went down fine.

This cleared up after about 5 days.

If you find it difficult to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day, you are at risk of dehydration. Please contact your surgeon.

i will do my best to get in 64oz. so far i have gotten down 16 for the day, but now im afraid i wont be able to eat lunch or dinner. i guess i will wait until i go see him on tuesday (for my post port revision checkup) and see how i feel by then.
