Hi Kay,

It looks like we are in this together because I am also having my

surgery on June 28th! My surgery will be at 7:30am. I will be

having a Lefort-3 piece. I have been in braces 28 months, so I am

more than ready to get this over with.

I have already got my jaw wraps and Zip-n-squeeze bags which I

ordered a few months back when I thought my surgery was going to be

in March. I have been stocking up a little on the yucky Ensure &

various juices. I will be heading out this week to stock up some

more.

Where are you having your surgery at? I will be having my surgery in

Reston, Virginia.

Namrita being that I am not yet post op, I can't quite answer your

question, but I will be sure to ask my OS on this upcoming Tuesday to

see what he can suggest and let you know.

Anyway, I am excited to finally have a surgery buddy the same week as

mine! I thought I was going to be home alone on the pre-op side while

all my June buddies were post-opers...(haha)
