i am going for my first fill this afternoon and i forgot to ask my doctor ....should i not eat anything before the fill?? my doc is not in untill noon and i dont know if i should eat anything... i am not going until 2:00... anyone?????

Every doctor has their own rules, but I always eat before my fill. I usually try to keep my lunch lite if my appointment is close to lunchtime though. If not, I eat a normal lunch. Is there a nurse or anyone at the office that you can check with?

the nurse isnt in either... just the front desk and the girl is new...anybody else no for sure?/

My doc has you do liquids for I think 8 hours before a fill, then the regular 24 hours of liquids after and ease back through the full mushies. Just to be safe, I'd keep it at least mushy or liquid. I'm fairly certain your doc wouldn't say NO food.

My husband goes for a fill today and the doctor told him nothing to eat for 4 hours before the fill.

My doc didn't say so I ate a normal lunch before and I was fine. I also didn't have to go on liquids after my fill. I was just careful.

I did protein drinks the day of my fill along with other liquids.

mine says 4 hours.

My Dr. says no food 4 hours before but liquids are ok

Now you see why I said every doctor has different rules!

I hope you remember to ask yours, and come back and tell us what he tells you!

NO one tells me anything

sometimes I think I just may not be listning...

hows it possible I am never told these things?

well everything went great... i had no restrictions before the fill even though i really didnt eat because i wasnt sure... and i am on liquids for 24 hours... next time i will know

Going for my 1st fill at 8:45 today. I hope it goes smoothly. I am so worried about being overfilled. My husband went yesterday and his port had flipped.:ermm
