Before Getting A Fill

[cleescruggs 13]

I have had a fill already but I can't seem to remember if I had a full stomach when I got my fill or do you go to the doctor with a completely empty stomach before your fill. Anyone know what to do? Do you get a better fill if the stomach is totally empty or some food in it? Anyone know?

What you do before does not generally impact on the fill, it is how you eat afterwards that is important. I wouldn't eat right before a fill but if you have had your normal meal about an hour or more prior then it should be fine.

Thanks for the info. I'm suppose to meet my cousin for lunch 1 hr before my appointment since she works at the hospital where I go to the doctor at, I think I'll just meet her just to visit and not eat. That would be too soon before my fill, I'll eat lunch 2 hrs before.

I try not to eat or drink before any doctor's appointment because they always weigh you.

My md instructs me not to eat 2 hours prior.

sorry to get off track but where do you go to change the weight on the ticker for yourself?
