Bob,

Maybe I am missing part of the story because i haven't been keeping up

like I used to but it seems your OS screwed up?? I mean I hope that

the redo surgery is completely cost free to you. What does your OS

say about this happenening? How are you going to be compensated for

the adsditional time, pain , suffering? Was this a risk that anyone

was warned of? I was curious right before my surgery because I had

heard of people's jaw returning to old positions but was never warned

of this personally or had it disclosed from my dr that this is a risk

we take. Were you? I am so angry for you!! I just can't believe

this would happen...

Hi Bob,

I've been wondering how you were doing after surgery and hoping you

were doing well. If you remember me, I had a similar situation that

all started at the dentist too, I had my lower advance 3 weeks ago.

I'm so sorry to hear about the relaspse situation. I was hoping you

would find out that your muscles were compensating and that you

wouldn't need a 2nd surgery. HOW ON EARTH DOES A RELASPE HAPPEN

WHEN SURGERY PHYSICALLY ALTERS YOUR BONE STRUCTURE? It doesn't make

sense, shouldn't it be physically impossible when they lengthen or

shorten something?. I started with an overbite, and after surgery

it was off side to side, but now I notice my teeth sinking back a

bit into an overbite again. I am only banded with 2 rubber bands in

front, no splint. I have fears of the same thing, but hope it's just

my muscles adjusting. I hope things go well with the OS. Please

keep us posted, I'm curious about the explanation of the relaspe.

You sound like a very optimistic guy, you are handling things better

than I would. I hope September comes soon enough for you and this

whole thing will be behind you soon.
