Title: Suporn wait list
Post by: Dodie on October 05, 2015, 02:55:43 PM
I am emailing Suporn now to check on the wait list time period.. does anyone know?
I had no idea it was so much cheaper overseas.. so considering changing course and going to him.

You will find that September 2016 surgery dates are available if you can decide right now, but frequently somebody cancels or reschedules their surgery and you can jump in much earlier if you are ready.
Just contact the clinic and Sophie will send you all the details you need.
Feel free to ask me anything about the procedures, I will be happy to answer if I can.

Hey Girl,
Ugh.. September.. I am scheduled with Bowers for April 26th and have been waiting a while.. I was hoping to get in by January or February of 2016...
I suppose I can ask.. but does not sound good.

Keri,
Don't give up on Dr. Suporn yet. When you write to the clinic, Sophie will send you information on how to schedule a surgery date, and you will be able to see which dates are free or become free. You could schedule for September to be safe and reschedule when an earlier opportunity arises. April, May or June may well be in your reach if you are lucky.
I remember how hard it was to wait from March 2014 to December, though...

Your progress is amazing, you are a wonderful chick, and I always enjoy reading your stories and updates :-)

Thank you so much.. I will try.. to wait.. I can get into Sinclair in January.. in Hollywood.. I talked to one girl who loved his work but he is not as well known as others. I will push Suporn for February at latest and see what happens.. its a financial thing.. also want to have fun next summer.. and date.
Thanks for the compliment on my progress.. as you know it has not been easy.
I am so ready for my next step.. so ready!!

Ditto for me!  That's why Dr. Sinclair was my choice.  Aftercare by him personally has been an unexpected plus.  Dr. Bowers or Meltzer would have been good choices as well, except for the painfully long wait time.

Sinclair is tempting.. also because I have friends in Hollywood.  I am still checking him out... his office staff is easy to work with..

Here's the schedule. Google shows it when you search the clinic.

If you watch it every day you'll see earlier dates open up, and as mentioned just email Sophie and ask for a date change.
