Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hi Dennis: It's great to hear from you. Well, summer is over in Vancouver. The weather is cloudy and I need to work OT the whole weekend. While waiting for the surgery, I have been imagining how puffy my head will be even though it will only be temporary. Anyhow, have a good weekend... and I will for sure come back here and tell you about my surgery and the recovery.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi Irene, My surgery is 9/29 so I'm less than 3 weeks away. I'm not quite to the nervous stage yet (not about surgery, though I am a little nervous about getting things done at work, etc.), but I know I will be soon. How exciting that your surgery is almost here. By this time next week, you'll be looking great (under all the swelling, hehe) and on your way to having a much better functioning mouth. Anyway, I just wanted to send a little cheering your way, and to let you know I'll be looking forward to hearing how it went when you get back. ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hi , Thanks for you reply. BTW, what kind of work that your surgeon will need to do to your jaws? For mine, it sounds interesting to me. Because the assistant of the surgeon told me that the surgeon not only needs to (1) push up my gum line and move the upper jaw backward a bit and (2) enhance my tiny little chin, but also to pull out all my wisdom teeth (after looking at the molds). She said that it is a very common practice for patients who have small mouths/jaw bones. As a result, I will end up losing 8 teeth after the surgery because my OD asked my dentist to pull out 4 pre-molars so that I could have more teeth at the back for chewing. At the end, I still need to have these 4 wisdom teeth removed. Haha... I wonder if I will have enough teeth to eat later. I am waiting for the assistant to call me tomorrow and tell me about that. Yes, I will surely come back and update my surgery and recovery details to all of you. Irene ^__^ > Hi Irene, > > My surgery is 9/29 so I'm less than 3 weeks away.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Irene, I'm not sure exactly what procedures he'll be doing, but I have an underbite with a crossbite, assymetry, and protuding lower jaw, so he's definitely going to cut my lower jaw and move it back, line it up and correct my bite. He was also talking about moving my upper jaw up a little, which is not 100% necessary, but would provide the most desireable results. At first I was leary of that, but since my teeth have moved and I have a better idea of what my mouth is like, I think that I would like for him to do the upper as well. I had 6 teeth pulled as a kid, and amazingly enough, they didn't take out my wisdom teeth for this surgery. They said my earlier OD pulled the correct teeth and there was room for my wisdoms to stay. So yay for that. I'm sorry you have to have yours pulled, but whatever it takes to get the best result in the end, right? Thank goodness we have so many teeth to begin with that we can spare a few, hehe. ~ > > Hi Irene, > > > > My surgery is 9/29 so I'm less than 3 weeks away.
