Thanks Fran,

Yes, I wished I hadn't gone through all of this but once or even at all

sometimes.

I hope this is the last major one except for removing that one plate that has

made a know on the side of my nose and under my eye..

Thanks again,

Jill

Hi Jill,

Thank you!! I had been wondering about this, and I had been told I

would just be banded, not wired. I am going to talk to them about

the grinding issue, and though I am not looking forward to being

wired for a significant time post op, I am sure it is easier to live

with than having a few extra surgeries! I really empathize with you

having to go through all that extra time/discomfort/expense!!! At

least this time it seems like you have it being dealt with

differently and hopefully for the last time. I am hoping this for

you. Thanks again for letting me know to definately bring this up.

Hugs,

Fran
