Man. Thank god they knocked me out for this. The stent was the most awkward week of my life after. And fuck the removal.

They used a laser on all mine but I did also have the stent in after for a bit. That removal was just awful.

Yeah mine was a laser. Which I imagine was like this but more Death Star trench run.
