Hi Everyone,

I met Dr. Hong this morning, signed consents, got prescriptions and I am on my way! Whoo hoo!

Now I wait for the date. I was told that Meaghan would call and that they were booking now for February and March. Sigh.....

I was hoping for January but I'll make it work. I'm going to ask to be put on the cancellation list and I'll take whatever comes up.

I'm not nervous at all. Very calm, cool, collected. I'm ready to do this.

I called Meagan and left a voicemail for her - asking to be put on the cancelation list. I got a call soon afterwards and had my surgery 2 weeks later! Try this if you are flexible on dates. Julie
