Hi Derrick,

I am having surgery just before you (May 3) for my own Class III

malocclusion and I have had the same concerns. The surgery time is

here, and I am really nervous. My boyfriend has been really

supportive, but I am definitely going to miss kissing him while I'm

recovering, and I hope that I can still kiss the same way

afterwards. I'd also be curious to know what other people have to

say about this topic... and I'll let you know what I find out about

it once I've experienced kissing after surgery first-hand. Good

luck with everything!
