Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I'm from Milan originally as in that's where my mother is from and I did my high-school there and I call it " home " . I now live in NYC though. Parli italiano? What a coincidence that u lived there. The world truly is getting smaller:-) Well I'm sorry to hear about the asymmetry. Is it something just you notice or that other people have pointed out to you? I'm intrigued also about the 2mm comment, did the doctor tell you that? I'm going for my pre-op work up today and shall ask the doctor about it. Thanks for all your feedback and 1 year post-up update!
