Duck Dynasty’s little Mia Robertson has just completed her fifth cleft surgery.

In a new interview with Closer magazine, 11-year-old Mia Robertson opened up about her cleft surgery and revealed that all she wants to do is go to Chick-Fil-A, a fast food restaurant that specializes in chicken.

“We’re driving straight [to Chick-Fil-A] from the doctor’s office,” Jase and Missy Robertson’s daughter told the magazine.

When asked what the scariest part of her surgery was, Mia Robertson said: “Knowing I couldn’t eat chicken strips for 3 months!”

Mia Robertson was then asked about how she coped with the surgery itself. Surprisingly, she was not scared at all.

“I honestly was never scared about having surgery. It wasn’t the first time, you know?” she admitted.

Besides, I had my mom and dad with me, and I knew God would be with me the whole time.”

Mia Robertson has been forced to replace chicken and her mother has been preparing her a wide variety of soups.

“She cooked a lot of different soups that I could pick from,” says Mia Robertson.

“My favorite was her homemade spaghetti sauce soup! I take it to school every day for lunch.”

Duck Dynasty Season 5 finale will air next week Wednesday and will feature Mia Robertson’s cleft surgery.

Missy Robertson said the campaign and its website, www.miamoo.org, should launch this weekend.

Mia Robertson had her first procedure at 3 months when surgeons closed her lip. At age 7 months Mia Robertson underwent her first procedure for her palate, which split and widened toward the back of her throat.

Her latest procedure involved taking bone from her left hip and inserting it into the gap in her gum to allow them to grow together to form one bone.

More procedures may come as Mia gets older, Missy Robertson said.
