Kellie, I think I must have been out of my mind at the time!! It hurt like hell (no ice or anything beforehand!)- plus she wasn't happy with the angle the first time, so she pierced the same hole twice. I've never sweated so much! Or sworn!

I'm glad I did it at the time though as I'd never have the guts to now. And having gone through that experience, I'd really prefer not to remove the bar and have it close up.

I'm seeing my OB on Tuesday, so will ask him then about it.

Margot.
