Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hi Beth, I think he is nice too! I am glad you had a nice consult. Do you have an appointment to get your braces yet? I am waiting for insurance preauthorization at this point, and to determine if the crown work for my teeth to meet in front will be covered post op. I want to proceed, but really need those portions to be covered. I hate the waiting! UGH! And congratulations on being carded! That would be lovely! lol Fran - In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " Beth " <books95076@h...> wrote: > I saw dr west yesterday, he was very nice! > > Turns out I do need both upper and lower there goes that bet.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hi Beth, Sorry, I didn't see this post until I had already posted you with the same question! lol You and I will be on a similar timetable it sound like. We can keep track of each others progess, as well as with Diane. Fran - In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " Beth " <books95076@h...> wrote: > I won't be ready for another year.

I'm meeting Dr. West on Monday -- I am so excited. If things go according to schedule, I'll have my surgery (lower adv.) next winter. I'm very curious to see what Dr. West is going to say. I don't know if he can really answer my main question, though, which is, What am I going to look like?! Luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
