I actually don't have anything ready - but I just got really sick, I'm freaking out about being sick for surgery so that's where my head is at right now :(<br /><br />I can't imagine how frustrated you must be right now, but all I can say is keep your head up!

Gosh, where's your head at now? I'm not sure how I'll feel until it comes, but hey, onward and upward, I'm seeing my surgeon within the next 2 weeks, and then I'll be joining the waiting list officially (I had no idea I wasn't even technically on it yet..)<br /><br />Do you have your 'jaw surgery survival kit' ready? lol SophieLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203448267984187854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206450736119696150.post-62198617665420753252013-03-27T02:02:19.104+00:002013-03-27T02:02:19.104+00:00Hey!

I was supposed to have my surgery a year - a year and a half after I got my braces on... of course 2 years later I finally get an appointment with my surgeon :( Keep positive though, time goes by really fast once you get a date, I'm going in for surgery in 2 and a half weeks!! Good luck with everything :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04123369614950142472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206450736119696150.post-16368424966011651472013-03-12T11:21:34.922+00:002013-03-12T11:21:34.922+00:00That is exactly what I've been told!

I almost cried- and Im in the middle of biology class too!SophieLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203448267984187854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206450736119696150.post-27453681315753906162013-03-12T11:12:44.023+00:002013-03-12T11:12:44.023+00:00How annoying!

I had the same problem, I can remember going to a joint clinic appointment and i'd convinced myself by this point that i'd be given a date during the appointment, and instead they just told me that they'd officially put me on the list! I was mortified! As far as I was concerened I was already on the list! Atleast they know you're waiting for your surgery, and fingers crossed if they get a cancellation soon, with you calling regularly they'll offer the space to you! In all honesty, from when they 'put you on the list' it seems to move extremely quickly!<br /><br />It's lovely to finally be able to countdown the days! And you'll have the same experience very soon i'm sure! :)<br />x<br /><br />Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832165376743261465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206450736119696150.post-19700414710241016502013-03-11T22:25:42.151+00:002013-03-11T22:25:42.151+00:00Arghh just the thought of another year with braces...Arghh just the thought of another year with braces is spirit-dampening. <br /><br />I got my call back from the surgeon's secretary and she told me that I'm not even on the waiting list at that hospital! (I was having orthodontics at one, surgery will be at another) and said I basically have to call the ortho hospital, tell them that they need to send a reference to my surgery hospital to say that they're done with my braces, which will THEN put me on the list! phew!<br /><br />It must feel good to be able to count down the days!SophieLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203448267984187854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5206450736119696150.post-76617885615956629002013-03-11T22:07:46.421+00:002013-03-11T22:07:46.421+00:00Don't lose hope!

I had braces on during August 2009, and i'd been told countless of times that I should have my operation soon (my first ever appointment they told me i'd probably have surgery 6 months after having braces on!). You can imagine that 3 years later I started to lose hope :P I received a call at the start of this month to tell me that my date was the 28th of March - so your date too will come when you least expect it. :) xEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13832165376743261465noreply@blogger.com
