Should I wait?

I had my 3rd fill yesterday, of 1cc. I now have a total of 3cc's in a band that holds 4cc total.

I can barely keep liquids down. So far, today is a bit better than last night. I was able to keep soup down, but a few hours later I drank a soy milk and it all came up. I also woke up choking in the middle of the night, and struggled to catch my breath.

Should I wait a day or two to see if I loosen up a bit, or should I go ahead and get a small unfill? I hate to jump the gun and get unfilled too soon, if there is a chance that I might loosen up somewhat.

Anyone else have this happen, and how long did you wait? I am not in pain, just a bit uncomfortable.

I say unfill NOW.

A few weeks ago I was taken from 2.5cc to 3.0cc. Long story short that was too much and what would normally be "nothing", or "PB, end of story" became - as a result of irritation and swelling - being blocked off completely, to the point that even my own saliva couldn't pass and I was having to PB every 4 or 5 minutes just from swallowing.

You don't want to be there.

"Choking in the middle of the night" sounds like acid reflux.

The same day that I was PBing saliva, I called for an unfill. They actually praised me for coming in, saying that some people go weeks and months like that. My rationale - it's better to go for an unfill, because I can always get more fill put in later, than be too tight and have increased risk of erosion and slips.

Yeah, I'd say call for a slight unfill as well. If you can't get liquids down, you're at risk for dehydration. I've been there...won't be doing that again. Like wheetsin said, you can always add more later.
