I know I harp on this a lot, but I believe being forewarned is to be...well, you know.

MK Holman: the removal of the trial is pretty uneventful, usually just a tugging feeling and having to put up with the removal of the all the tape...may lose a few hairs here

What I do want to caution you about is that several of us, me included, found that after the trial was over our pre-trial pain increased and we literally counted the days until we got our permanent implants. I'm not sure exactly why the pain increased, probably a combination of being pain free for a while and them messing with the nerves when they put the trial in. Make sure you have pain meds. to fall back on and if you do experience increased pain and the pain meds. don't cover it, let your dr. know ASAP. Hopefully you'll get your permanent one in soon as it sounds like the trial was very good for you.
