My surgery is Wednesday as well. I am having upper only LeForte. I

am getting pretty nervous, but hoping for the best. I just don't hope

I regret my decision. I think I have a good doctor. He is a fellow

in the society of Oral and Maxiofacial surgeons. He has been doing it

for 30 years, and is great according to everybody I talked to. My

orthodontist recommended him, and sends most of his patients to him.

Hello there - Just wanted to wish you the best of luck tomorrow.

Don't worry - you are doing the right thing by undergoing this; you

have lots of courage. Just relax and everything will be just fine.

Hope to hear from you on the other side when you are able to post.

Take care! ~~~~~ Diane (BSSO and LeFort - next summer)
