Lanie/Re: Surgery was cancelled... I'm a mess...

[Guest guest]

Hi Lanie,

Hang in there, I know how frustrating it is to have your surgery

postponed. My surgery was cancelled several times before it was

finally scheduled for this past June 28th. My OD kept stating that I

was ready, only to hear from my OS that he wanted more space between

the upper teeth for segmenting the upper jaw. I was getting so upset

like you, but realized that I would prefer the teeth to be in proper

position to have the best possible outcome for the surgery.

Stay positive and I promise you that the time will go by quickly! I

can't believe that I have been in braces now for 28 months and my

surgery is now over with! YAHOOOOOO!!
