My neph removed it. It was well attached so he had to do some cutting. Didn't hurt at all. He did have to pull very hard to get it out but they only held it for about 5 mins. Did not need any stitches.

 :clap;  I had mine out in mid April but I had stitches, so I still had an excuse to avoid the flopper-stopper for another several weeks.  I am so glad to be rid of that darn cath I actually don't mind the bra - too much!  Plus, now I can shower without all that wrapping!  :yahoo;
