Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Dear , Hi, I am 16 days post op from having upper moved forward and widened, and lower moved back 3mm and to the left. I have been wired shut and really have had a hard time with diet,pain, week after surgery..etc. Before the surgery my family was still trying to talk me out of it. But, I'm glad I did it. I'm starving but I'm glad I did it. You just make sure that you are 100% sure and you will be fine. Instead of trying to convince them its the right decision just let them knoe its your final decision and start focussing on preperation and what you will need of them after surgery. Joining the message board will give you accounts of worst case scenarios and best case scenarios. Just remember it is different for everyone but be prepared. Any questions that I can answer just let me know! Jane > > Hello, I am new to the group. I am almost one year into my braces > part of my treatment.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Welcome to this wonderful group. You have done great WOW lost 460, you are doing wonderful. So are you still losing? I know you said you put back on 20, but your not down to goal yet right? You still have a ways to go if I figure right? Ir you where 715 lost 460, you are about 355 to 375 if you gained 20 back? Have you been losing over 100 lbs a year? Just figuring this amazes me. Are you getting around good now? Did you get around when you where 715? Life must of really changed for you, and it has to be so much better. I hope you really keep working on this journey and really take off more weight and enjoy life to it's fullest. You take care and if you have any questions, we'll try to answer. Seems like you have the answers with how well you've been losing. Take care.
