Lefort 1 BSSO Genio Tomorrow.

#1 Post by ZmaN277 »

Just thought I'd throw this up on here.

I am fairly nervous, but part of me feels like the suspense is the worst part. I just pray when I wake up I'm going to be.

A) Not in too much pain
B) Able to breathe okay.

If those two conditions work out okay I'll be pretty relived, although 4 weeks wired shut won't be too fun.

The main other thing I'm concerned about is the length of my chin— mine is pretty far receded because of an idiopathic resorption of the maxillary condyle, which if continues, could cause my case to relapse (Although most of it is gone already)

Anywho, I just feel like to go through this and have it not be ideal might be devastating, but I've been waiting two years for this surgery (SARPE one year ago) and It's finally time to do something.

Time to go under the knife I suppose.

Good luck, Zach. Try not to worry. Hopefully you'll be on the other side before you know it, and be so glad you did it!
