Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Oh no i didn't see that either, was it on Sky? I wondering if it will be shown later in the UK?!! I find the whole process fascinating and although i'll probably have a pillow and crunge I know i won't be able to help myself watch! Looking at the before and after pictures on this site I find people look amazing (those pictures that are a couple of months after and are fully recovered, rather than 3 days out of surgery and still healing!!) The main difference is the confidence, it really shows though. I had my top jaw expanded by 9mm with a RPE and its already changed my face (and eating) so really intrigued as to what i'll look like after surgery, and more so how they did it. The human body is one hell of an amazing thing, keep your mind positive and the body will do the rest! B x > > > > Did anyone see tonight's Extreme Makover?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 man oh man, am i happy i missed it! jaw cutting the bone!! eeeeccchh! great, now all i can think of is that a saw is going to be cut into me during surgery. Why does this remind me of some freak horror film? Sara > > > > Did anyone see tonight's Extreme Makover? This 18 year old girl had an > > underbite.
