hi there just got word this morning to go into hospital this friday to have my xrays and to see whats happening with the band and port i will keep you updated thanks

hi there just seen your post i had to have my port replaced over 2 years ago because i caught mrsa and they had to take my port out 2 weeks after they puy it in and i had to wait 6 months to have it replaced and it was ok the second time so dont worry about it now am waitng to have xrays to see if my band has slipped at all because i have started to put the weight on and now i can eat anything but can you tell me this is your port sore in some ways and jaggy i no it sound daft but could you let me no thanks sharron scotland
