Hello everyone. I

This is my first post. I just joined today after almost a year researching this forum. I am scheduled for April 19th with Dr. Juan Antonio Lopez Corvala in Tijuana. So very excited. I don't think it has quite hit me yet. I never really thought it would be my turn. Hope to make lots of new friends and start my new and improved life.
