My OS said the exact same thing to me, in the end he did end up

moving both jaws BUT he decided no wiring shut and only banded for

two weeks (well for now it seems 2 weeks, today is 1 week and I met

with him yesterday and that what he said) hmmm I dont think this is

helping but basically what I am trying to say is, be really happy if

its only one jaw and DONT worry at all if its both. It didnt sound

like you were worrying but incase you are, dont! and feel free to

talk to me, I am just a year younger than you if that helps too.
