I went in for my first consultation on Friday. It basically took 10

minutes and he approved the surgery and told me we could set a day

for 4 or 5 months from now. I have lots of questions actually. How

many consultations did you have with him prior to your surgery date

for August? Are any molds/impressions/x-rays taken prior to surgery

with exception to the ones your dentist takes pre-braces? Were you

able to see a computer generated image of what you will look like

after the surgery? This frightens me a little since I have no idea

what the surgery will do to my face/nose etc. Were you able to look

at photos of other patients? How long wil your hospital stay be?

Your surgery will be the same? What are you having done with the

top jaw? I will post some photos of myself later. Lots of questions

sorry! I have been in and out of braces since I was 13 (28 now) and

I have been trying to get this surgery done over half my life

Thank you so much for responding. Answers to these questions would

be greatly appreciated.

Thank you again,
