Re: April Surgery Buddies? to Tori

[Guest guest]

Hey Tori,

I'm having surgery April 21st as well! It was set for the 23rd but

there was this conference that my surgeon wanted to attend and he

asked if he could push it up, which was even better for me. faster it

comes faster it goes. email me if ya want to chat! im having

upper/lower/genio yikes! My worst fear is probably the swelling and

second the numbess.. thanks to this group i've had contacts with many

orthog patients and have had great support. good luck! we have a

little over a week left.
