Wow! This is great for the newbies (and oldies) to see.

you feeling ok?

coyotegirl · 07-19-2005, 08:23 PM

Here is one with the needle going in. Maybe you soon to be's don't want to see it?? LOL

Yea Paula, I am doing FANTASTIC!! I actually enjoy going in for my fills. I get so many complements on how good I am looking. I don't usually get complements on how I look so now I LOVE TO HEAR THEM. I always get complements for things I do, Like fix things, for some reason I can look at something that needs fixed (electronics, furnature, etc) and fix it. So I get complemented for that and now I am getting complements for my looks. WOW ya gotta like that? LOL

Wow! So, does it hurt to get a fill? I go next week to get my 1st one.

No, It doesn't hurt at all. He gives me a little numbing shot first. I can feel pressure when he pushes on the port to insert the needle, but that's all. Kind of feels funny! :)

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing them!

Oh my, I had no idea the needle was that big! Somehow through all this research I never got that before, I thought it was a normal needle. I have a hard time with regular needles. I am going to have to really think about this.

Terri, thanks for posting the pics. I would have passed out cold if the Dr. had walked in with that needle when I wasn't at all prepared for that. Gives me more to think about. I am a big woos when it comes to needles don't know why I just am.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I had my first fill yesterday. I made the nurse put a magazine between me and the needle - I told him if he wasn't gonna give me a tattoo I didn't want to see the needle.

I can look at the pictures of you but I could not have tolerated watching it happen to me. Thanks.

Took care of it for you.

Oh My Lord, Tell Me It Isnt Really That Big

Road Queen · 10-30-2005, 03:56 PM

the needle my dr uses isn't that big.

coyotegirl · 10-31-2005, 06:27 PM

Pabandgal, some dr.'s use smaller needles. When I get my fill from a local dr, she uses a much smaller needle. With either one I do not feel any pain.
Good luck :)
