hey there. ....

i totally understand your anxiety regarding the person who will be

performing your surgery. i knew my surgeon, but didn't meet with him a

whole lot before i went under the knife. i never got to see his personality

and outlooks on life. .. which is something i like to do with anyone who

will be touching me. .. ahhahah ... yea know. ... but, i would straight up

ask the surgeon if he will be there or not. .. if not, and you're not

comfortable about it .. don't go. good luck!

bringing in the surgeon assistant...she<br> & gt;say's he always attend

surgery with the OS. He walked in....never seen<br> & gt;him before, the

whole year and 1 1/2 at any appointment's. I'm<br> & gt;wondereing was he new

or will he be the sole surgeon or what? Has this<br> & gt;happened to any of

you guys? My OS teaches as well, and that may be<br> & gt;his student...not

sure, but I don't want this guy performing my surgery<br> & gt;alone. If my

Sanya - Well, I'd be really pissed off if MY Surgeon let some amateur

get involved in my care without my permission. You may have

inadvertently allowed your OS to include this other person in your

care when you first went to him though. The form you filled out on

your first visit asked for your signature, to give your permission

for your Surgeon to examine you, etc. Also, if you signed the consent

form for your upcoming surgery, there is usually a line or two that

states that you give your OS permission to include others of HIS

choosing in your surgical care. Whenever I need to sign these consent

forms, I always read them and make a copy for my records. If there is

something stated that I don't agree with, I question it, and I NEVER

sign it until my concerns are addressed./// I think the reason I am

so strict about this is because I work in the medical profession.//

You should address this issue DIRECTLY to your OS prior to your

surgery. Good luck! ~~ Diane (Idaho)

Hello Diane, The surgery date is 7-25-05...I have to sign paperwork

a couple of days prior to surgery, maybe I'll see that information.

I forgot to add...I did see my OS the day of the pre-surg appt. he

just popped his head inside the room while I was getting

impressions... said hello, and joked with the surgeon assistant for

a minute or two then off he went. I should have asked him then, but

I got so wrapped up with the tecnicalities of the surgical

procedure. Oh well I'll get back down to business on the 21s, that's

when I sign all the paperwork admissions etc....

Hello Derrick - How nice to hear from you! I haven't written to you

in a while. I'm almost in braces; July 26th for spacers and ceramic

brackets, and August 9th for spacers out, bands on molars, archwires

on, and possibly power chains on the top. I went to my OMS this past

Tuesday for my consult appointment and got some shocking news: he

wants to do a LeFort in addition to the BSSO set-back for my

underbite. He told me that I have Maxillary Hypoplasia which has

caused a midface deficiency, so he would like me to let him perform

Maxillary Advancement and also drop the maxilla down because

my " resting smile " only shows my lower teeth. I'm not sure I will let

him do it; I'm scared of having my maxilla separated from my skull!//

I'm glad I have the OMS I have - he's been very understanding and

supportive. And, I'm getting to know him as a person as well; you're

right: it's important to know the person behind the surgical mask.

Let me know how it's going, okay? ~~ Diane

Yes this happened to me I felt like I'd just been seen naked. As I

didn't see the assistant before surgery and then to be told after it

wasn't just mine it was a little weird. But I think having had

three there was one for both of my big ones. I feel okay about it,

if my OS had run into an issue - got the runs;) there was an extra

pair of skilled hands to finish.
