Dr. Miranda told me 3 weeks as well and when i went for my first fill she told me to start doing sit ups that it helps the muscles around the port and makes it easier for them to give fills.

Hi Darlene! Thank you!! The article was helpful!! Regina

Hi Everyone .. Im scheduled to go for my first fill here in Washington state on Thursday at a fill center USA location. Ive read both good and bad things about the fill centers but i cant make it down to OCC until mid to late April so im hoping for the best. (If anyone knows of a good fill doctor in Western Washington state please let me know) My question is how do they know how much fill to put in? Do you tell them? Or do they just pick a random amount? I noticed alot of people have a 4cc band but on my card it says 10cc - why the difference? Should i ask for more fill? Also are there any things i could do to get a better fill? Thank you!! Regina

Thank you All!! I really appreciate it .. my mind is put to ease now
