UPDATE from UmmAleah

[Guest guest]

Best of luck UmmAleah. I am sure that all will be well. I do hope that your band is safe and can stay put, but yes, best if there are any issues that it come out. Look forward to hearing from you soon, and that it was a quick day surgery and nothing more.

Best wishes,

Mel

Hi UmmAleah

Good luck for tomorrow. You'll do fine. Hopefully it will just be

the port removed, fingers & toes all crossed for you.
