Guest guest Posted April 25, 2005 Report Share Posted April 25, 2005 I received notes from my OS regarding my surgery and was hoping one of you could translate for me. I've been in braces for one and a half months and should be ready for surgery in three to seven months. My OS noted correction will entail both maxillary and mandibular osteotomies entailing a horizontal maxillary osteotomy with posterior impaction and bilateral sagittal osteotomies for mandibular lengthening. I understand the last two words of that sentence. Any idea what will be happening to me? I haven't seen my OS since my initial consult in November and am about to schedule a 24 - 29 month migration project at work that should start in July. I've been following the emails on this site for a while and have seen many variations on recovery. Although everyone is different, would it be safe to say about four to six weeks off from work? I'm trying to get an idea of whether it will be possible to schedule my surgery somewhere in the migration process where I wouldn't be needed as much. Thanks in advance.
