Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Hi, I was just wondering how many people who had had Upper/Lower surgery done were NOT wired shut? My surgeron told me he doenst like to wire shut and hopefully he wont have to wire me shut. So basically i'm wondering if he is getting my hopes up or is it possible not to get wired? I'm having uppper/lower/genio in 5 days! Hope that all made sence. haha Thanks everyone Becca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 I think it depends on the individual surgeon and on what happens in the surgery, as well as what procedures you're having. I know Fiddlesticks (who's gonna be away from the boards for a bit) has said that she had upper and lower and genio, but that since she did not have to have a palatal expansion, she was not wired. I had lower only, and was neither banded nor wired, but my surgeon also told me he hasn't wired anybody in 10 years or more. So it is possible. What your individual case will turn out to be, probably even your own surgeon cannot determine at the point.
