Chris Germano Wishing you all the best on Monday. These procedures are done so often these days that it is routine. I know the anxiety comes on around now ( I had my surgery Oct 27 this year). Just meditate and remain calm. I'm sure your surgeon is top notch and all will be fine.

Ercan Afacan Thanks Chris. Appreciate the encouragement🙏. Hope your recovery is going smoothly.

Rose Madura The 8th is just around the corner. Godspeed.

Ercan Afacan Thanks Rose 🙏
