Hello!

Hey everyone!

My insurance just approved me for surgery-HOORAY-:thumbup:! I am scheduled for my pre-op on Sept.3rd and my surgery date is Sept 10th! I am SO excited/nervous/scared (as i'm sure everyone is before their surgery!). I'm 21 (will be 22 on Sept . 18th)(surgery is my bday present to myself!). My doctor(s) will be Dr. James Atkinsen/ Dr. Soong. I have heard tons of great things about both of them! Is anyone on here from Vegas and has them as their doctors?

Anyways, I will try to write lots about my experience with the surgery and how everything goes!

-Chelsea
