happyk 0 Posted April 24, 2006 I need some encouragement, I hate fills. I've only had two but the first one went horribly.......I HATE NEEDLES!!!! I get so nervous, I feel my heart racing just thinking about it. I haven't been back to the doctor since Dec 6th, I've made several appointments but cancelled them all. Anyway I have an appointment Wed. I don't want to cancel...........:help: I think I'm also embarrassed I've lost so little weight, I tell myself when I loose 10 pounds I'll go and get a fill, well I haven't lost 10 pounds in a longggggggggggggggg time:faint: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanetC 2 Posted April 24, 2006 Awww, go get the fill, it'll help you lose the weight! :party: Seriously, tell the doc you're really afraid of needles & maybe they can be a little more gentle with you -- and make sure you don't see the scary thing! You can do it! (( Hugs!! )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
argon 3 Posted April 24, 2006 You should get some topical numbing cream, like EMLA... then shut your eyes and tell him to do it quick! If nothing else, you should be getting your fill BECAUSE you're not reaching that 10 lb. mark! Go get your fill on Wed. I'm sure you'll be happy you did. Good luck! :party: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
