Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 , Great to hear that you're out the other side ok and that your surgery went well...well lets hope it's all up from here. Welcome to the world of teaspoons; and for me anyway, if I can mash it I can eat it. > I have made it to the other side!!! My surgery went as smooth as > silk.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Corinne, If I could only give one piece of advice about going into this surgery, it would be " attitude " . What I mean is… go in with the attitude that everything will go well. I had an incredible amount of confidence with my surgeon from the beginning of this process. You have heard the cliché' " the anticipation is worse than the participation " . If you have any specific questions you would like to ask me…don't hesitate to ask!!! Take care, > > I have made it to the other side!!! My surgery went as smooth as > > silk. With just some mild numbness on my chin. The surgery took > > about 3 ½ hours to complete.
