Happy birthday!! I'm still pre-op, but my immediate thought when you said you might be feeling some restriction now is that if you get a fill then leave on vacation, what happens if you're terribly uncomfy or too full when you're gone? Maybe waiting til after is a more cautious decision. Hopefully someone with experience can guide you!

   Nobody here can really tell you what to do. You know your body better than anyone. You may be tight due to TOM coming or a number of other things. Everybodys experiences are different and you just need to make the best decision for you.

I would see how you do for the next few days and if you feel you need a fill then go if not cancel the appointment.  Just remember if you go on vacation and end up "very restricted" from another fill it could ruin your vacation. Jenn

I'm with Jenn - wait for a few more days and see how you do.  If you feel you need one, then go, but if not, cancel the appointment and wait until you get back.  If you're over filled, you'll kill your vacation, and have to come home early for an unfill.  That'll suck.

Dee, We have the same doctor!!  I guess it depends how much weight you have lost since the last fill.  I saw Diedra today and I lost 7 pounds since my last fill.  She asked a bunch of questions then gave me a little fill of .2cc .  Talk to them as see what they say.  God luck..Annette
