Eating before a fill?

[mias76 32]

I'm getting my 1st fill on Thursday. Is it safe to eat right before my appointment?

I don't know why it would be unsafe, but my surgeon's office requests "no eating" for about 3-4 hours prior to getting an adjustment. They use Fluoroscopy for all adjustments and want to SEE what everything looks like prior to an adjustment.....on an empty stomach. You might could call them and ask what their requirement/suggestion is. Best wishes!

Best to check with your doctor, but mine said no eating 6 hours prior as they did a swallow e-val during the fill. Good luck and don't worry there is nothing to the fill.

Best advice is to call your Dr. and find out what his protocall is for eating before a fill. My Dr. does not have one since there is no swallow or x-ray prior to the fill. I have eaten before going in as early as 45 minutes before my fill nothing bad, and nothing good to report about it

If you have radiology with a fill though that changes things so call and find out how your Doc will fill and what he requires then enjoy some time with kiddies no matter what
