Fill Question

[mikkozoe 0]

I am going for my frist fill in GA on Dec 16 at 9am. Later that night i am going to a Falcons game....so my question is do you think i will have issues with sitting thru a football game after a fill ? From what i gather there is no or very little pain in a fill ...so i think i can make it but figuered i would ask...i mean it is going to be about a 4 hour drive to get there and i am ready for that ...i just want to enjoy the game

thanks

Hi,

You should be fine, but your doc will probably have you on liquids for a day or two. Other than that, enjoy!!!

Im 10 min away from downtown Atlanta, My experience was good at the fill center-I had my appointment at 6pm so i stayed over night there (its in the middle of no where, hehehe) but you are in good hands, Nurse Zelby is very nice and found my port immedietly. My first fill is 1.5 cc which i got done on the 15th of nov and I can definetly notice restriction. How are you doing so far?

Well that is good to know ...Hopefully they will be able to find mine ASAP too =) I am doing good ...Still on Soft food right now since i am waht like 2 and a half weeks out ...i just feel so bad eating carbs all the time but i know i can not try meat yet ......but i can deal with Pasta and rice LOL

Well my appoiment is at 9am si i figuered i would just get up very very earlie and head on down ( the night before is my work christmas party) oh yah did you have to do anything special before you went..like no food after midnight or soemthing ?

You should be fine. I have had 3 fills and no pain with any of them. Good luck!

You have to fast for 8 hrs prior to fill. Nothing to be taken by mouth.

You should be just fine. I can't think of anything from the fill itself that would cause problems, I would just be careful eating or drinking, since you won't be sure how you react.

It's always surprising to me how different doctors are. Mine never said that. I do try to eat lightly the day of a fill.

My doc said liquids only for the five hours prior to the fill.

You will be fine! I actually had a second wind after my fill and was pretty energetic!!

GOOD LUCK AND HUGS!

You will do fine. You will just have to stay on liquids that evening. My doctor has me return to mushies the day after. Have fun!
