1st fill

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:
