fills guidelines/port pain

[lock27]

Hello Everyone!

I am having a fill coming up in two weeks here in chicago, and i was wondering if anyone had the guidelines that Dr. Ortiz suggests prior and after the fill. Since i have an almost 3 hour drive, i want to make sure that i can do everything right.

Also, I have been getting this sharp pain in the port area and i can actually feel the port, has anyone had the same problem?

I had the same sharp pain for about 2 or 3 days, about a week or so ago - so it sounds like around the same time.

I go for my fill next Saturday. OCC told me by email and phone to fast for two hours prior to the fill - no eating or drinking - not even water.

I've heard 6 hours from many forum members on here, but again, I've callled Claudia, Lori and Dr. Saul - they all say 2 hours.

Hope this helps
