FLUORO Question
This depends on the doctor. My doctor does all my fills under fluoro. I actually like that my doctor does my fills this way. He always makes a comment about my band being in a good position and no errosion. So he checks other things other than just the amount of my fill. that said I guess I don't mind because I'm not planning nor can I have children any more. I would be very wary if there was a chance I could be pregnant.
My doctor inserts the needle into my port (practically painless) and then has me stand in front of a x-ray machine. I then have to drink that awful barum stuff. He starts filling me and then checks how the fill looks on the x-ray. He watches how fast or slow the barium goes down. That's it and the whole thing takes less than 5 minutes. My doctor is quick.
