## Thanks for the detailed reply. That was a lot of great

information! Did you have the same surgery I need, the mandibular

advancement? My orthodontist said I would only be out of work one

day, that sounds a bit unrealistic after reading your reply. I don't

know that I'm prepared for so much downtime, though. Yikes, I sure

have a lot to think about. I don't see the oral surgeon until next

week so I guess I'll just stop worrying about it until then. I sort

of feel like a ton of bricks fell on me. I went from thinking I'd

have Invisalign for a year to thinking about 2 years of ortho and

some pretty significant surgery. Thank God for wine and chocolate,

my favorite coping mechanisms
