RE: Another November surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to the November Surgery Support Group =). My name is Diane and I'm

from Oregon, USA. I'll be having my surgery Nov. 17. I'm having lower and

will know about the first of Nov. if I need upper, too. I get my surgical

hooks on Tuesday. I was just filling out my pre-surgical paper work and it

hit me that my surgery is in 3.5 weeks. It seemed so far away and now it

seems to be coming quickly. I remember reading of other people who were a

few weeks out and now they're many weeks post-op. I sure hope time flies for

us!

Good luck with your surgery. Please keep us posted pre and post-op.

Diane, Oregon

Subject: Another November surgery

Hello All

I've been reading the posts here for about six months, but this is my

first post, as I have finally got a surgery date - 22nd November, and I

got my hooks (called cleats in the UK) on Thursday. Reading everyone's

posts has helped me so much so far, and also provided some relief to my

poor friends, family and work colleagues who have had to listen to me

going on about it all for almost three years! It has also helped me

keep my problems in perspective when I read about what so many of you

have been through.

I'm 28 and live in Salisbury, in the UK. I'm having upper, lower and

genio. I have an underbite, and a slight open bite. I've had my

braces on for 16 months (and also had them as a teenager). I will be

wired shut for at least six weeks - sure to be my healthiest Christmas

and New Year ever!

Anyway, I'll stop there before I ramble on, but I just wanted to

introduce myself.

[Guest guest]

Welcome ,

Sounds like we have similar surgeries coming up. I'll be having mine

on Nov. 2nd.

This board is fantastic! If you have any questions, there is always

someone here that can give you some advice or know where to find it.

Again, Welcome,

Sandy, PA

Hi Diane,

Thank you for your reply. At the moment, four weeks feels like

forever but I know it will speed up quickly!

My hooks are fine - they're just a whole new load of metal to get

used to! - except for the fact that my top lip does tend to get stuck

on them when I talk, which is slightly embarrasing!

Good luck with your surgery too, and in the meantime good luck with

your hooks and the decision on your upper.

This site is so helpful isn't it? I am glad you found it and that

it has helped you already. And your date is coming up soon too.

Great to hear from you.

Hello, na, it's completely understandable that you are talking

about your upcoming surgery - you are excited and anxious and maybe

just a wee bit scared! This is all very normal, considering you are

going to have major jaw surgery in a few months. I hope your friends

and family are trying to understand what you are going thru, and

being considerate of your feelings. My surgery isn't until next June,

and I talk about it alot too. I think that talking about it might

help you cope with the stress of having surgery. If your family and

friends don't want to hear about it anymore, just email me and WE

will talk about it, okay? ~~~ Diane (Idaho) (dmd13cyto@...) ---

Hope it all goes smoothly!
