My stent removal only took a few minutes and I didn't feel more than a bit of pressure.  I think they are generally pretty easy on us girls - not so much for the guys!

Does anyon  have itching skin?  I thought it was the pain med, but I still itch. The DR told me to stop taking the Bactrim for a week. I have missed one dose and the itching is mostly at night. It started in the hospital, and I itched at my grand daughters house. I am taking Benadryl but it does not help. I am going crazy. It is not bad during the day, but at night it night it is unbearable at night.  :stressed;

You must be having an allergic reaction to one of your other meds, but there are so many it's hard to determine which it is...?

Yep - stent removal was not fun, but at least it was a quick process.  Getting prepped for the stent removal took longer than the actual procedure.
