From what I've heard your not supposed to eat anything for an hour before. No idea what it feels like cuz I haven't had one yet but I've been told the needle is pretty big so try not to get to paranoid about the size of it. Hope it all goes well =)

I've gone in for one fill, and was told not to eat anything after the midnight before, but I don't know if that had something to do with the fluoro?? I dunno - just did what I was told.

As long as the doc can get to your port easily, it'll be a snap. My fill felt ..... strange. I had a shot of lidocaine, which I hear is unnecessary, but anyway - it numbed me so that I just had a weird sensation, I presume when the needle entered the port.

After my fill, my doc put me on liquids for a couple of days, so be mentally prepared for that possibility.

Good luck & congrats! I hope you get to restriction soon.
