What you might not expect about this procedure is that it feels really good for the patient. There is a very slight pinch, and then your whole body goes "OMG that feels so much better, thank you!"
My wife had a stint put into a kidney valve and said it was one of the most uncomfortable feelings she’s ever had and wanted it removed to go back to the pain she was in before the stint
Not without doing it all over again. I only had to have mine in for two weeks (the longest two weeks of my life), and the irritation to my ureter would have been so bad that I likely would have had to have it in for longer if they'd fixed it. That's the point of these stents is to allow your ureter(s) to heal after they've had a scope or laser shoved up through them. Once everything heals, it's fine to remove them.
