Help!!! Should I Change My First Fill Date??? Help!!!

[ktsped 42]

Hi there...thanks for reading. I am scheduled to have my first fill on May 30th. I am a third grade teacher and cannot be out of work on the 31st and 1st due to field trips and field day. Does anyone think I should change my date? I am not sure how I am going to feel?? This is my first fill and I am not sure what to expect.... ANY HELP would be appreciated!!!

You'll walk out of the Dr office and won't feel a thing. I've had 6 fills and it's less intrusive than getting a flu shot.

Thanks for writing back...it helps! I think I am more anxious about it because it is the one!!

My take on it, I'd postpone. Only because if you end up too tight (rare for a first fill, but can happen) you'll need to get it addressed right away. It's only a few days. Why risk it if you absolutely cannot miss work?

I postponed my first fill for a month due to a cruise. I could have had it before, but would have only had about a week and a half before we left for it to settle in. I didn't want to be out of the country in the middle of the ocean with a band problem.

Does ur doc do fills umder fluroscopy or blind? If he does with fluro (xray) u shouldn't get over filled & will do just fine. Either way I'd go ahead. Just make sure ur stocked up on Protein Drinks for the field trips

I think you should be okay. My surgeon wants me to be on Clear Liquids for 2 days after, and then 2 days of full liquids. In that case, I would make sure I have plenty of liquids available to me! Karen

Most 'first fills' the majority of people feel no different .. but there is an odd one or two people that do feel a little too tight afterwards, the decision is either plan a 'just in case' solution like plenty of Protein drinks and liquids or postpone for a few days .. .. its your call

I'm a 4th grade teacher and get exactly what you're saying. It's a very busy time. My first visit with the surgeon is the 5th of June and I'm nervous.
