What I'd love to do is just take out half the fill, stay on liquids for a few days to rest, then see how it goes with mushies. Whaddya think? Karen?

That sounds good to me. I had it all taken out cause she was leaving on vacation for 1 week & I knew I was going to TJ w/my daughter 12 days after that. Yes, in retrospect, I didn't need to have it all taken out. Having said that, it really gave me a chance to heal, so maybe it was worth it. BTW, I was so tight cause I was under a tremendous amount of stress ( hubby in hospital, etc). That was a long answer to your question. Interestingly, US docs, my fills here are done by a very competent nurse practitioner, are MUCH more conservative w/fills. They typically sart you w/.5cc's, then go up in .2cc increments. At least that's what she told me the American protocal is. And she's not making $ per fill, I paid for a year. The average amount of Mexican fills for the 1st year is 2-3. Average in US is 10.

Interesting! Well, the fill is done now, and he took out .4cc. It has made a huge difference. I'm glad you didn't necessarily recommend a complete unfill, cuz I didn't get one! LOL

Now I really like my good ole fill doc, even though he charges for unfills. He put in 2cc for the first fill because, as he said "that's what Dr Kuri recommends" Don't know where he got his info, but I know he sees plenty of Kuri patients. I'm thinking a .5cc fill wouldn't have made that big a difference even in me!
