I got mine out yesterday and feel so relieved. I know I may not be back to my old self right away but it's a step in the right direction. They had a bit of a difficult time finding the strings but it was far less painful coming out than going in. Not bleeding terribly. It's like a light period with a bit of clotting. Right now I'm just exhausted from all the stress and worry over it. Have no appetite. How did those of you that had it removed help get back to normal? How long did it take to notice?
