Re: Help!!! I've got stuck air>Ingrid

Ingrid... when I had an overfill a million fills and unfills ago, I was like you, couldn't even swallow saliva, it was horrid. Because I had pb'd so much for 24 hours, I had to have a full 1ml out to let things relax and heal so to speak. I went back a week later and we started going up by 0.5ml at a time.

And yes, 0.2ml can make a huge difference to it all. Try to stick to just liquid for today and tomorrow, see the surgeon Wednesday and get a bit out. Do not go away miserable, there would be nothing worse.
