Had mine out a week ago today ,getting staples out Fri.keyhole surgery,4 cuts.
I was tortured with this ,get it out not worth the pain.
When I woke from surgery I knew the ■■■■■■ was gone ,had a Chinese on Sunday night with no problems at all which was no no for me for a long time.
Its actually not that painfully after surgery more uncomfortable than anything else.
Also been sleeping very well since it went.
