Hi. My question is regarding my first fill. How much do they put in? Is there any discomfort along with a fill? The reason I ask is that I am going on Vacation 6 days after my scheduled fill and I won't be around any hospitals or doctor's offices. Should I wait and do my fill after vacation? Please, someone help me. I need all the advice I can get. Thank you so much for your time.:cursing:

Most docs are pretty conservative and don't put a lot in at a time, but you might want to check with them first (I've seen some pretty wild numbers from some...like 5cc's from one). If you didn't get a 'primer' fill (most get some fill at surgery) at your surgery then they'll probably only give you enough to fill the port and tubing (2-3cc's maybe a little more). If you're going to have any problems you'll most likely have them within the first few days. I'd call your docs office and discuss this with them and get their opinion. -BG

Thank you so much for your information. This is still so new for me and it is good that I have this support system. I will call my Doctor. Again, thank you. ;)

My doctor have me to drink water as she does my fills...to make sure I am not too tight. Also my doctor doesn't put much in. She does it slowly. Like BJ said it depends on your doctor. So make sure u ask questions. After your fill make sure you can drink water. If you can't you are fill to tight. My doctor also numb me first with a needle before she gives me my fill. My friend her docter didn't numb her and it wasn't pretty!
