Metal Mouth Message Board

I have messages the moderator about changing the title of this thread to "August/September surgery buddies" so hopefully we will all soon be together! Thanks to snapdresser for the great idea

I'll be off the grid until Sunday but looking forward to catching up then x

Great idea about merging the threads - I have messaged the moderator to see if they can change the title but if not we'll just start another thread x

That looks cool uncleezno!

Good luck!

Yay slewmissy - feel free! I'm sure some September buddies will join you nearer the time as well! Yesterday I had my wafer fitting which was perfect. And a really lovely nurse talked me thru everything and I signed my consent forms so basically I'm good to go :shock: Just crossing my fingers and tie...

A week today!! And I've got a busy week! Working Mon, Tue, wed. Wafer fitting on Tuesday. Away camping thurs-Sunday with my daughters - pre-arranged music festival & didn't want to disappoint the kids.

Hope everyone is ok - especially bimaxman who should be heading for surgery tomorrow? Good luck x

Hi slewsmissy

June/July buddies have a great thread and are really helpful. A few of us are gearing up for August surgery (myself included - 9 sleeps eek!) so you'll be able to see our experiences on the August buddies thread.

Hey adorkable - how you getting on with those surgical hooks? X

All the best x

Hi all Had my last ortho appt before surgery today - felt a bit final!! Just photos and lig change. Bought some nutrition drinks - ready made & powder. Have got homemade stock in freezer. Was going to get some frozen fruits too for smoothie making, and stock up the herbal teas to make hydration more...

Thanks all for the feedback regarding the nose stitch.

Quick query!

I'm going to be having the nose stitch to help prevent widening during my surgery.

Have any of you had it? What are your experiences?

Thank you x

Had a letter thru on Friday changing my appt for wafer fitting (??) on 5th Aug to 7th Aug - when I'm meant to be at a festival with my daughters. Luckily a few phone calls the the very helpful waiting list Secretary means I'll now be seen Tuesday 4th - crisis averted. My work are really great with m...

Yay! Glad you got your surgery dates confirmed adorkable! It's feeling more real now! Yeah check the pre-op appt situation - my surgeon said if I missed one appt they would cancel & move me down the waiting list :yikes: I bought a squeezy bottle with straw for water (not to suck - when you squeeze i...
