I went in for my 5th fill today. another 1cc put in. On liquids for today and muchy food tomorrow.

I had the nurse take some pictures so I will try to post them. You notice I said try. I have never done this before so bear with me.

this pic is when He was first starting out you can see My port on the screen.

Ok that worked but it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big. Penni HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't make my pictures smaller on any picture program I have. If I post the rest can you fix them also????

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

you feeling ok?

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.

Ok that worked but it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too big. Penni HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't make my pictures smaller on any picture program I have. If I post the rest can you fix them also????

Thanks a bunch Penni, You're the BEST!!

Oh My Lord, Tell Me It Isnt Really That Big

the needle my dr uses isn't that big.

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
