Has anyone had their surgery done in UCH?? I go for my consultation on May 18th and am curious about the procedure in getting this done. Please give me any feedback that you have, thank you....

Hi,

Good luck with your consult. Perhaps you've already seen it, but here is our website that explains a little about the procedure:

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for!!! It provides a lot of great information, so thank you again!!!! Now I know what to look forward to in this process and I'm more excited than scared!

I'm so glad I could help. You might want to write down some of your questions before your consult - that way you'll remember them. I know I always seem to forget my questions when I actually sit down with a doctor!

This is where I'm going too. I was put in for a referral, and now I'm just waiting for them to call me to schedule an appointment! I'm excited!

Well I go for my appointment tomorrow so i will definitely let you know how it goes. Just a quick note though, make sure that you call them, they didn't even put me on the wait list for an appointment until after I called them! It only took 3 months for them to call me with an appointment which isn't bad, last year it took them almost 8 months!!!!

Oh! I made my appointment the other day. I called and asked my doctor once i got my letter of referral. I go in June 8th. I think it says my doctor is going to be Dr. Rothchild?

unfortunately when i went to meet with Dr. Rothchild he turned me away because of my age. I'm 21, and he basically told me i was too young for the surgery. This week i have my consult with Dr. Michael Snyder, and hopefully things will go better with him.
