Metal Mouth Message Board

Good morning everyone! I'm going in for the surgical portion of my Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SARPE) today.

Anyway, I'm excited, but nervous. But, thanks to these boards, I'm feeling confidant in my decision. So, a big 'Thank You' to all of you, past and present, who take the time to write about your experiences. It's been, and will continue to be, very helpful.

Wish me luck!

*I also posted this in the general braces forum, because it's a more active than the surgery forum.

P.S. Why is it that I hardly ever want breakfast unless I know I'm not supposed to eat it? I could really go for some eggs right now... Oh well.

Good luck! I had SARPE about three years ago. At the time I remember being so self-conscious with my speech, and the way I looked with the dreaded gap. But, truth be told, the time actually went by decently fast and now it's just a distant memory, especially now that my braces are off and both surgeries are done! I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hope it went well!
