Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hey Everyone- I went to my OD yesterday and had my adjustment (new wires and sore teeth today...). Because of all the great info I've gotten on this board I was able to ask some good questions about surgery and prep - that he was more than willing to answer. I found out that I will get surgical hooks put on - but that my OS will only use light elastics post-op. (My OD & OS work very closely together - have for years) I'm so relieved that I won't be banded tightly closed. Still don't know about the splint though. Having said that - I'm a bit frustrated with my OS's office. They are VERY slow with information and when I call are a bit short about my questions. I have a date of Aug 15th for surgery - everything is being planned around that date (time off, OD work, etc) and they haven't 100% confirmed it yet. Grrrr! I've had surgery before that was specialized like this and had a stone cold date 6 months in advance. Anyway - thanks for letting me vent.
