Deneb,
I've had two, on my back, though. Quite a few years ago. More fat there, for sure, so I knew the doc wouldn't be hitting anything but that...
But anyway, I agree with llrrrpp, thinking of other stuff, drifting away, not looking at the needle (unless you'd rather, and that doesn't bother you) may be really helpful. And the music is excellent - they may even allow you to wear an iPod throughout...
For mine, they used bit of local anesthetic - that's the only pinch I recall at all...once it numbed up, they did the aspiration and all I felt was some weird pressure. It wasn't bad at all.
You can do this.
You can travel around Toronto on your own, for goodness sake!Can't wait to hear when it's over with :-) You take care.
