lissalv 8 Posted January 26, 2014 Hi Melissa! I decided to go with the Canadian coordinator for my surgery. Im sooo nervous, but excited too. Where abouts ate you from? You can send me a private message if you like I'm from Las Vegas, NV. It's a much closer jaunt for me, so I plan on driving down to San Diego with my husband. I can't believe that it's only a little over 4 weeks for me. Have you gotten his pre-op instructions yet? Melissa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
