You will be so thankful you have it. I was also in a good amount of pain afterwards-especially laughing or coughing. The dr said it could've been too tight. I decided to leave it tho cuz I knew I'd lose weight, which I did & I was glad I had left it. I cannot tell you how glad you are going to be to have that.
