First Day

[Guest guest]

Hi !

Thanks for the info! I don't know how far I'm bypassed. I had a check

up with my surgeon's group two weeks ago, and in a temporary moment of sanity,

I marched my rear to the surgical records department of the hospital and

requested mine so I can find out. I should have the records within a month, and

hopefully with that, I'll be informed. I'm pretty certain that I'm not distal

or even a medial, but I wanted to be sure of just what's was going on.

Thanks a bunch-

, congrats on getting through the first day! As for how many

to do per day, I think 4 is minimum with 1 meal, but it also depends

on how far bypassed you are. Do you know?

Hi from Ireland, just wanted to introduce myself. I am 50 and eventually

discovered the courage to do what should have been done 25 years

ago....but never too late. Today is the first time I have woken up with braces.

What a strange feeling but nothing as bad as I had thought. I have a sever

class 3 underbite, so it was time I had something done. To be honest I did not

even realise that anything could be done, despite years of going to dentists

for cleaning and care.....not one ever mentioned Orthognatic surgery. Thank

goodness for the Internet. I know I am at the beginning of the process now ,

having had all the consultations with the OD and the surgeon. Yesterday as I

entered the ODs surgery he said " You OK with this, no going back now " I

knew then that this was it and I was in for the long haul .

Hi Dave,

Welcome to the fun world of braces. I am sure you will adjust to

the braces rather quickly and before you know it you will not even

know they are there! Just keep the wax handy and you will be just

fine.

You will find so much information on this support site which will

surely help you along your long journey to surgery. It is a slow

process that requires patience, but the outcome will be well worth

the wait.

Best of Luck to You,
