If this has been going on for very long you need to go to the hospital. Especially if you cannot get ahold of your dr. You dont want to get dehidrated!! They will find someone who knows how to take some of the fill out. after that you should be just fine. this is common when you are first trying to figure out how much fill is right for you. good luck, stay calm and go to the hospital if it doesnt improve soon!

GO TO THE HOSPITAL! I went through that about a month ago and they had me come right in! Not only can you get dehydrated, it can cause a slippage which might be removal of the band. They should NOT have given you 1.5 cc all at once on top of what you already.

I would go in right away as well. There is no reason to risk your health and stay in agony. I would also try again to get ahold of your doctor and see if there is an answering service that can patch you through in case of emergency.

I was like you and my band became swollen shut. It's not joke. My doctor said ALWAYS call if yo can't get anything down after 30 minutes.

Good luck! I know it sucks

well, i lived. i managed to get some liquid tylenol to stay down and was at the dr.'s office first thing this morning. he took out .4 ccs leaving me with a total of 3.9ccs and i'm able to tolerate clear liquids. i tried some crab and corn chowder but it was too thick! but i'm able to get liquid vatatmins and broth with protein powder so i'm pretty sure i'll survive! thanks for all your advice and kind words, i was FREAKED!

after your swelling goes down, you should be able to get more foods down.

Glad to hear that you are feeling better!
Yeah, I would take it easy for a couple days, graduate from liquids to mushies to solids as slowly as possilble.
