Hi everyone, I had my first fill last week and it was horrible. I landed in the ER. I am trying to figure out what I did wrong! Can the veterans tell me how do you prepare your body for fills? Going to try and convince my surgeon to give me another fill next week to see how my body will react this time around... And input will be greatly appreciated.

I'm on my cell so I can't see your statistical information but in short, you don't prepare for a fill unless your doctor gave you specific instructions to fast before coming in. If you had to go to the er, chances are you were too tight. You may want to suggest small quantities of fluid. Best wishes and good luck

There is not much you can do to prepare for a fill. The only thing my doctor tells me is not to eat a couple of hours prior to a fill. as listed above you were probably filled too tight if you ended up in the er. small fills are good i think but some people are inpatient and end up having to get fluid taken out. I had small fills and it took me a while to hit my green zone and the last fill only took 0.2cc. Sometimes after some of my fills i would be more swollen and sore then others but i did the liquids for a couple of days and took small sips.To me each fill is not the same. good luck
