Whether this is due to stress or not it is imparative you contact your surgeon immediately.  I had a friend who this happened to and she put off contacting her surgeon.  Result, her esophogus ruptured and now she is unfilled and damaged herself so much it she can not longer get any fills.  Your esophogus may swell even more if you don't attend to this now.  One tenth of a cc can make all the difference in a fill.  One cc is actually a lot.

I agree that 1cc is a BIG fill. My doctor took me from my 1cc to 2cc on my 2nd fill and I was WAY too tight. He backed it off to 1.5 and it was perfect. I've had a few slow fills since then of only .2cc at a time, and that's perfect for me, so I would def. get the unfill and gooooo slooooooowww with the fills.

Hi! the same thing happened to me a week ago last Thursday.  I had 8 cc's in my 10cc band and was eating like there was no tomorrow the week before I went for my 6th fill.  He said he would put in another cc, and I was happy with that...well, just like you, I couldn't even drink water.  That night I drank about 2 oz of chocolate milk and violently through it up.  On my way to get the unfil, I took some pain pills because of back pain I was also having (was not a good week!) and I through up the oz of water that I drank to get the pills down...had to pull over off the side of the road and throw up in a plastic bag!  Yuck!!  Anyway, he wanted to take the WHOLE 1cc out, and I begged him to just leave in .1 of the cc because I knew I was too loose the day before my fill.  So, he backed out .9 of what he had put in, and I am now pretty good.  So maybe your doctor will leave in .1 of the fill and you'll be just perfect...good luck!!
