I'm so excited to get my first fill next Tuesday. I can't wait. But, I'm concerned because I'm scheduled to go camping on Friday for the weekend - about 2 hours from my surgeon/hospital. I have a multi-part question:

1) Have you had issues a few days after your first fill - to the point where you needed to have some saline removed?

2) If you were me, would you go 2 hours away from your surgeon only 3 days after your first fill? (The concern is that my Dr. said if there is an issue - I would likely need to get back to the hospital that did the surgery as other hospitals will be hesitant to remove saline that they didn't insert.

I welcome your thoughts.

if it is your first fill i can't see where you would have any issues. actually for me i couldn't tell much difference after my first 3 fills. it takes a few fills to get to restriction.

were it me, i'd go and have a good time.

you will have to do what you feel good with.

No, the only time i ever decided to have fill removed, it was very much just because I thought I didnt need to be quite so tight, not because I couldnt eat. I could have simply waited for it to loosen up.

I always have tiny fills, but really, I wouldnt even hesitate to go away a few days after one. Perhaps just plan some mushy, easy to eat foods to have on hand. And dont have a really aggressive fill.
