**SO Excited! * Getting Naked - sooner than I thought.

#1 Post by Lyn »

Hey all!

I had my adjustment this week........went in thinking it was a regular one. New ligs and more bends in the wires.

NOPE! . . . . Dr. says, 'so how's things going?' and I'm like GREAT, though I'm ready for them to be off. (knowing in my mind that I still have lots of months left).

Well, he says 'Well, not next month but the month after, they WILL come off!' :HugeGrin:

I couldn't believe my ears! My original sentence was 18-24 months. Then he said MAYBE Xmas, now NOVEMBER!!!! :thumbsup:

I'm floating on cloud nine! I believe it is going to be a very long "2months" ahead of me though.
But then - - I'm Naked, y'all!!!! [[[crossing fingers]]] :banana:

Yay! You must be so thrilled! I know I was when I found out that mine are coming off soon! I'm a little afraid to ask the exact date in fear of being disappointed, but in two weeks we'll be discussing retainers! :D

At least you've got something to look forward to for the next 2 months... debanding will be an early Xmas present!

I know what you mean.......I was even afraid to post that I might be getting them off, but I'm so excited, I had to tell someone!

I am really nervous about the retainers, after reading the other forums on retainers...................I know it will be fine though!
