TONY (MS BOONE'S ASSISTANT) FROM PNH CALLED ME TODAY ...TO SEE ABOUT MY REQUEST TO SEE DR MAN INSTEAD OF DR MCFEE...SHE SWITCHED ME TO DR MAN WITH NO PROBLEM..SHE REMEMBERED ME FROM THE ORENTATION AND SHE WAS ACTUALLY ESTATIC TO SWITCH ME TO DR MANN BECAUSE HE DID HER SURGERY AND SAID HE IS GREAT! SHE JUST WENT AHEAD AND SET ME UP A FOLLOW UP PRE-OP APPT WITH HIM..WHERE I'LL BE GETTING A SURGERY DATE....WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO....I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER HAVING DR MANN SINCE I HAVE RESEARCHED HIM AND I KNOW HE DOES VSG'S A CERTAIN WAY AND HE DOES THEM ALL THE TIME....

I AM SO GLAD THIS OPION WAS AVAILABLE TO ME..AND I DIDN'T JUST HAVE TO GO WITH THIS OR THAT DR BECAUSE THATS WHO I WAS GIVEN...OR WHO WAS IN THE NETWORK...BUT THAT I ACTUALLY GOT A DR THAT I RESEARCHED AND WANT TO BE MY DR...AS YOU ALL CAN GUESS THIS MADE MY FREAKING DAY!....

THIS WAS ONE EARLY WAKE UP CALL I DIDN'T MIND (I'M NOT  MORNING PERSON..SHE CALLED AT 8:29AM)

MORAL OF THE STORY IS FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND GET IT!!! DON'T GIVE UP....THIS IS A LIFE CHANGING DECISION WE ARE MAKING FOR OURSELVES AND WE NEED TO BE A 100% CERTAIN WE ARE COMFTY WITH EVERY ASPECT OF THIS SURGERY AND WHO WILL BE DOING THE SURGERY....

TAKE CARE,
SONJA

Sonja,

I am glad that you are having the surgery and the surgeon of your choice!!  - there is a lot to be said for peace of mind and this is a scary surgery so we all want to feel confident about our choices.

Good luck as you move forward! Keep us posted!
