's Journey

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone I want to thank this group for all the help and

support it has given me. I've been a member since my journey begin

back in July 03, my surgery was on April 19th. I had Upper jaw

advancement to correct the under-bite associated with a small

backwardly positioned upper jaw. Superiorly reposition the upper jaw

to correct the vertically excessive downward growth of the upper jaw

and diminish the long facial appearance. Surgically widen the upper

jaw to eliminate the crossbite associated with inadequate width of

the upper jaw. I couldn't be happier that I actually had it done. I

get some weird responses from the people that knew me sometimes only

because they don't recognize me. But they always tell me how great I

look. Even the girls at my surgeons office that work in the office

didn't recognized me when I went back for my follow-up appointment.

The change was a dramatic, in the good way. I will post some before

and after photos when I can figure out how to use my scanner. I just

want to tell everyone that is just starting this treatment to stay

positive and it will be over before you even know it. I'm available

at SweetInnocen69 yahoo Instant Messenger if you guys and girls have

any questions. I want to thank everyone here, my surgeon,

orthodontist, dentist, friends and family and last and not least GOD

for letting be here now telling my story.

Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I know it will be helpful

to those just starting out. And for those of us like me (3 weeks

post-op) it helps keep us positive ... and moving forward.

I look forward to seeing your pictures!

Take care,

Carol
