Okay, I am a definate go for December 14th. Anyone else having surgery in December?

Sorry Badbite--I am scheduled now for either Jan 17th or 21st--depends on if they are doing surgeries or not on MLK day!

Hi everyone I have been looking around the net to find a website just like this, and I have found you all!

I have my LeForte I Osteotomy on my upper and lower jaws on THURSDAY 9TH DECEMBER!!! Ahhhh time has flown by i have little time left!

So looking forward to it now

Good luck December folks!! The toughest part is soon to be behind you! It all gets better, starting from the moment you leave the hospital.

Keep us updated on your dates and progress, and let us know if you have questions that we may be able to help with. I know that, for me, one of the best ways to track and stay upbeat about my own recovery is to try to follow and help other people while they do the thing.

And, seriously, it is already shaping up to be one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I hope you all have a similar experience.

Im here! Hello, I do not have very long to go now, just a week and a half

Just popping in to say hi to the December-ites. It'll be over before you know it. Wishing you all the best

Hello everyone,

I got the news today and will be joining the December buddy thread. I sneaked in under the wire with December 29th!

Hey caschill well done for sneaking in so fast... what are you having done?

Im getting psyched now for going in tomorrow night!

I apologize for the poor language skills. I work nights and the mental pistons were not all in firing mode, haha. I meant to say "snuck". I had my OS appointment yesterday and asked for the end of December if possible. Luckily, he had one surgery on the 29th and approved mine for the same day. Woohoo! I have a class III underbite and as far as which jaw will move is uncertain until the pre-op on the 23rd; however, I do know that I will be having both jaws as I need a maxilliary impaction and a rotation of the mandible to correct my midline.

I am relieved, because for the last two years I have felt like my life was in limbo. Like I couldn't make any serious life plans until this was taken care of, so I am relieved and anxious at the same time. The terror hasn't sunk in quite yet. Looks like we have a small group for the December buddies...best of luck to you guys!!

Good luck to all the December patients! Stay strong and we're here if you have questions. Looking forward to hearing everbody's results...

I concur with Broadway Bill--rock it, Decemberites!

I'm scheduled for Dec 21st - Lefort 1. Quite nervous about it right now, which needs to wait until after finals next week. Good luck to all of you who have them soon!

caseyref, hope all went well.

All the best to the rest of you.

Badbite, you're up next, aren't you? I'll be thinking of you on the 14th
