Banded tight for 6 weeks, Slack for 2 weeks! Looking back it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I talked to a friend of mine who seemed to have a worse underbite and the same surgeon. She said she was banded front and back for one week and for then the back stayed on for another week. That would be very easy to handle. I hope I'm in the same boat!

Hey I think each OS does things different. I will have a splint after the surgery. My hooks will put on the day before. The hooks are for banding during the surgery. He told me that I would not be banded or wired when I wake up. Yee haw for me!!! Victoria
