Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hey everyone! Well, tomorrow at 10:30 AM I check in to the hospital to get ready for upper widening and advancement and lower re-alignment and pushing back (nice technical terms, huh??) Today is a very anxious day for me. I got to the orthodontist this afternoon to get the surgical hooks on, and then I have a last visit with my physical therapist tomorrow morning. I am scared out of my mind. I hate IV's and just don't like having to think about that going in, I am worried that my stomach will be VERY hungry because I have to stop eating at midnight (any suggestions to keep me full??) and I also have a question about braces. Does the orthodontist keep the wire in for surgery, or will he take the wire out today? Also, will I have the colored bands on or off for the procedure? Just wondering!! I really want to thank all of you for all your support and great advice these last couple of months. I honestly wouldn't feel as secure if it weren't for all of you. So, good luck to all those who are healing, best wishes to those who are getting ready to go under, and hang in there, for people just getting started with treatment!
