Re: Second Surgery Worries

[Guest guest]

> HI ,

I'm sorry to hear that you need a second surgery- but I guess it best

to just get it over with.........and you have a beautiful smile to

look forward to!

I just had upper jaw surgery on Monday, it sucks, but I'm sure it's

better than having both upper and lower done again :-)

I miss food already, I wake up from food dreams chewing on french

fries and pizza that isn't really there.....

I hope all goes well, and liquid cake actually sounds kind of good..

Hi, :

I had a second surgery 3 days after the first. It definitely wasn't

as bad as the first. I think the anticipation was the worst part of

the first surgery, and you won't have to worry for the second

because you already know what to expect. As far as the insurance,

they picked it up without a problem. I wish you a speedy recovery!
