Diane/Re: How many orthognathic surgeries should an OS be doing a year?

[Guest guest]

(June-Caboose) - Thank you for your reply. My Surgeon told me

that he has two of these surgeries to do this summer, and I think he

mentioned he had one in the fall, and then it's time for mine next

summer. So, maybe he does the same thing your Surgeon does; he told

me that he would be getting me through all this from start to finish,

so maybe he will be taking care of me until I'm thru recovery before

he performs another procedure. My Surgeon does alot of other kinds of

procedures as well, including jaw implants (I'll be getting one after

the braces come off next year), and a whole list of Cosmetic Surgery

procedures as well, so he keeps himself busy. I like the thought of

being cared for by my OMS - he's such a sweetie!!// Hope you are

feeling better than you did last week. My " B./S.Day " is tomorrow (B

is for Brackets & S is for Spacers) - my Orthognathic Journey is

finally beginning! WooHoo! Yipee! (hope I'll feel the same way after

those darned spacers go in!)// Thank you for your continued support

as I begin this process! ~~ Diane
