Sept 24...

[Guest guest]

My surgery date is set for Sept 24th! I'm having

a LeFort upper, a BSSO and genio. Basically,

upper jaw needs to be brought forward and

down, and lower needs to be moved back, and

chin lengthened 4 mm. My ortho had two

surgeons for me to choose from, one a male

and one a female, both of whom have done

this thousands of times he said. I finally decided

on the female doc. I'm in Singapore, where the

surgery is subsidised, so it's costing about

US$1,000 for everything. I'll be in the hospital

for three days and then will stay over at my

mom's place for a while. Surgeon says I'll be

banded for a week, so hope it's not too bad.

Counting down... getting nervous!

Hi Gil,

I'm going in for upper/lower/genio on October 3rd. I'm right there with you and

getting more and more scared as time draws near! I remind myself all the time

of why I am doing this and I pull out old pictures that I hated because of my

crooked jawline for inspiration. We'll help eachother through the pre-op

jitters.

Hi Sharon!

You have all my best wishes and

good vibes for a terrific experience that will

pass quickly,safely, and painlessly! It helps

so much to have support like this... I can't

imagine undergoing this alone, and not

knowing what to expect. As the old saying

goes, " There are no strangers, just friends

we haven't met. "

Whereabouts are you having your surgery?

What do you need done?

Anyone having it in late sSept/early Oct?
