Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hello, Has anyone heard of people getting their bands " loosened " before they were actually taken off? I have my 2-week post op appointment tomorrow and someone told me that my surgeon may loosen the bands, but I'm not sure how this would actually work. Two weeks seems a little early to me for my jaws to be able to start moving around, but I guess I wouldn't know. Thanks for any input!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 I'm guessing they may be suggesting that you might get elastics that are not quite as " heavy " or " tight. " In which case, in my experience, anyhow, that was a guess. I never knew what my surgeon or my ortho would pull from their pack of goodies next... cammie > Hello, > > Has anyone heard of people getting their bands " loosened " before they > were actually taken off?
