Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hi, I have been reading posts for a couple of months. I thank everyone for their stories. I feel like I am so much more prepared for surgery. I am wondering if someone would give me their opinion. I am going to have lower jaw surgery. Been in braces for 1 yr. My ortho told me I had a 1mm space to close up then I would be ready for surgery this fall! 6 weeks later the space was totally closed and he said " maybe surgery in the spring, definately summer. " I said why spring now, what went wrong. He said " nothing went wrong, I will know when you are ready. We have to work together. " And by the way... The OS (they are friends) is behind and having problems getting people in for Dec. I was furious! I work as a school nurse and will not have 2 weeks off again untill summer. So I called the OS and talked to his surgery nurse.I explained the situation and she said she could fit me in to see the OS in Nov. and maybe fit me in for Dec b/c lower would only take 1 1/2 hrs. I feel like I really went behind my Ortho's back. I like him and now am afraid to face him. Any opinions??? Thanks.. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
