Surgery in 2-3 months

[Guest guest]

Hi. My name is and I am 18, will be 19 right around (maybe the

day after fun fun) surgery. I have posted a few times but mainly

just lurked and browsed over the past year. I am having my top jaw

split in three sections to move it up and back, and my lower jaw

moved foward a bit, and my chin moved foward a bit. I have an

open/over bite right now and an extremely gummy smile and rounded

out profile. I cannot wait for this surgery to finally bite normal

and not be self conscious about my bite or eating in front of people

or how i look anymore. I got my braces on Dec. 7th, 2004 (4 months

ago). I went to the ortho today and he took new molds. He said

everything is in alignment except for one molar that is too low and

is making my molds rock around a little. I have to come back in one

week and he said he would change my wires to fix the tooth. He also

mentioned putting surgical wires on...isnt that too early for a

hopefully beginning of june surgery though???? Maybe i misheard

him... In the meantime my ortho will sit down with my surgeon to

discuss the molds and surgery. Should i call my surgeon for anything

right now or wait and see what my ortho says next week. I am afraid

that i might not get my surgery when i want it because my surgeon

only does them 2 tuesdays a month (hospital regulations i guess).

And so I am highly hoping for June 7th or 14th(but my bday is the

15th so hopefully the 7th) THis is concerning me because it is only

8 weeks away and i am afraid the hospital will get booked soon.

Anyways..not really much to ask..just wanted to update/introduce

myself again. I will try to get pics up eventually.

ohhh....also... I am a dancer and have in my mind that my face is

holding me back from being a good dancer because of expression. Is

it a bad thing to be having such high expectations that after my

surgery i wont be a quiet shy dancer anymore and have good

expressions when i dance?? Did you guys become more expressive in

general(smiling, etc) or much less quiet and reserved after

surgery??? Thanks!
