Hi Fay,

Your surgery is just a few days before mine! Yes, you have made the

right choice! You have gotten this far and what a long journey it

has been. You are almost there!! So hang in there and keep thinking

positive thoughts! If you have any concerns, don't hesitate to

contact your OS!

I am having a Lefort 3 piece which is upper jaw surgery. My OS will

be segmenting my jaw in 3 pieces and moving the front four teeth

forward and down to fit over the bottom teeth. The other 2 segments

will be widened.

Anyway, it is great to have a surgery buddy & we will have to help

each other get through these next few weeks!

Best of Luck,
