General idea of supplies for DIY magnetic implant
Cheers!
So I've been doing some research on DIY methods for implanting magnets, and it's great to see the the pool of knowledge growing! There are a bunch of great resources available, and I thought maybe I could pitch in a bit of what I've been assembling myself through research. Specifically, what I've compiled as a list of available and accessible tools most procedure break-downs seem to involve. Hopefully this can be an handy bundle of info for someone who would otherwise opt for cheep-but-less-safe option on some supplies. Also anyone who has used any of these tools can give a yea/nay and feedback based on their own experiences!
Surprisingly I was able to find most of what people have suggested on Amazon. And prime, no less!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/2T7SWJQ8XTP8T/ref=cm_wl_rlist_go_o?reveal=all&view=null&itemPerPage=25
This list DOES NOT INCLUDE:
Lidocane, which I've previously ordered from Dangerous Things: http://dangerousthings.com/shop/pain-management-kit/
Sutures, not surprising that they're not on amazon, but I DID find them here http://www.tigermedical.com/Products/Black-Nylon-Monofilament-Sutures__NDCP420661-.aspx?ProductVariantId=693d947f-6b3c-4ef7-8a94-14ad90c2b526&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnZShBRDfxqzr55rcyMEBEiQA1iRNP_B6e5MhZbuq9OwozhVlDIsYz21a8ETuQOBZtWju1WQaAvlv8P8HAQ
This seems like pretty much everything one would need, but unlike a lot of people here this actually is my first rodeo. Any feedback is sincerely welcome, and I hope this could also be handy to someone else!
Thanks!

@kjwx I've been considering a glue instead of a suture, and it sounds easier both in what I need to do and what I need to watch myself do. I hear the big concern is with healing, however. And the cleanliness thereof. If anything, and I mean anything, ends up inside... at least a suture can let it flow out and be cleansed after the fact to some degree. With glue, I understand what whatever is in is locked in, and it's much harder for your body to weep out any problem cells/liquids.
The last ones I had done ended up healing without even the suture, though one side did face a bit of a bloody complication on my way home (VERY awkward to handle on a packed public bus, I might add).
Thank you for this link! I'll keep looking over more things RE skin glue, and see if maybe the pros will outweigh the cons I've heard. Honestly the suture is the part I'm least looking forward to, and if alternatives are viable that would be great!
* EDIT * - I wanted to address your anxiety (if it's fair to call it that) regarding sutures. Prior to this evening, I'd never had a suture in my life, let alone performed one (well, I guess I had one for an extracted wisdom tooth, but that was done numbed and not by me). I was having all sorts of anxiety about it as the time for implantation approached. But I can say, at least for me, they were not bad. In fact, I enjoyed doing it, oddly. Like you, I weighed the pros and cons of suture versus glue and sutures won out. Just make sure you tie good knots if you go that route :)

@zombiegristle And thank you, too!! I've updated the wishlist so it'll list that one, instead.
I figure that process will probably kill almost any prions, viruses, bacteria (Antibiotic resistant and ordinary alike), fungi, and/or parasites that could be encountered.
