Dear C.

Thank you for your reply. I really wanted to get input from someone

my age. How are things now? Sounds like you didn't have any regrets.

Things are just fine for me now, .

My surgeon told me that my procedure was " so easy I could teach you how

that " hooked " him on doing jaw surgery, because of the remarkable

changes he could help people achieve.
