Officially scheduled for BSSO on Jan 17th, with Dr. Bloomquist in Seattle. Anyone else having a January date???????

Christine

I've been on the waiting list for surgery since June but on my last orthodontic appointment they said I'd most likely to be having my surgery in January - but still waiting for a date to fully confirm this.

Glad there is a January thread now though, means it is getting close!

Any other January 2011's out there??? Had my records appt tomorrow---starting the insurance nightmare--had to pay privately for the surgery--as they denied it the first go around....but at least I am scheduled, paid and ready for jan 17th in seattle!! When it's all over, I can fight with the insurance co. but until then--I just wait!

My surgery date is scheduled for Wednesday 19th Jan!!! Yikes!!

Good luck with your surgery, we can keep in touch by Facebook if you like? Just message me if you want to

Just bumping this up it's January now----my surgery is still set for Jan 17th--beginning the logistics of how to manage everything with the kids and their activities--that's worse for me than worrying about the actual surgery!!

Sambo-what surgery are you having and where are you located?? Let's keep in touch, I don't believe we are the only January surgeries on this board??

Well, I am down to 6days and counting now!! I can't believe there's only 2 of us having surgery in January!! Maybe the December people can give me some support!! Did my pre-op phone interview with the hospital yesterday. I am really glad to have my kids--they are keeping me so busy I can't worry about myself right now!! I believe it will be their busy schedules that make me get up and go afterwards too--no time to be lazy or feel sorry for myself--I have to be the chauffer and cheerleader to my boys!

Any support or recommendations are appreciated!

Sorry there are not more January people to respond! I am May so no help there! Good luck and please post your progress post-surgery! I will be sending good thoughts your way, especially next Monday!

What exactly are you having done?

I'm scheduled for Feb 21st myself, so I'll be anxiously following all (both?) of you January folks.

Of course! I will let you know about any part of my recovery. I am four weeks post-op today and I feel REALLY good now!

Good luck to you January folks! We will be here for you!

I'll jump on board. I'm getting two zygomatic bone plates screwed into my cheeks next week (friday 1/21/11) so I suppose I'll be a january buddy, but no hospital stay, maybe not even general anesthesia. but definitely more recovery than TADs or miniscrews.

oh that doesn't sound pretty either!! keep in touch about how you do! good luck!

Good luck to all the January 2011 buddies...I look forward to hearing everybody's story!

I'm having my surgery on the 21st of January. My surgery involves work on both my upper and lower jaws and I am possibly having a genioplasty as well.

Good luck to all of you having surgery this month

good luck to you too Amanda--

keep us updated on your progress! I only have 2 days left! I have been sampling different smoothie drinks and protein shakes this week to try to get a variety for the next couple while I can't eat much!! I will be so happy to get his over with! I am anxious to be done, on the other side, and then dealing with the healing!!

good luck
Christine
