PLEASE tell us that you got tested for nickel allergy! Vi, who is a member here had a PFO closure, found out after that she is allergic to nickel and now has to undergo open heart surgery to remove the device.
If you did get tested and all is well, then I wish you the best of luck!!!!!
Take care of yourself,
Marci
