I booked myself in for September 13th - I wear braces and hopefully they will be off by then. I really need them off before the surgery as I realized I do not chew properly with them on.

It's still 16 weeks away but you know how fast the summer disappears in Canada! I went for a consult with Kathy on May 4th, and she could have booked me in within a couple of weeks - I really wanted to dive in but cooler heads prevailed when I practiced chewing. While I was there I heard them talking about the "young man" being next and I knew they meant Robgoblin.

I am scared of losing food, does that sound weird? What will I do with myself at certain times of the day? Do these old habits die hard or gracefully?

I have only told my DH & one close friend - when it gets close I will tell a couple more friends, but I'm not interested in too many opinions right now, I just want to trust mine.

Looking forward to hanging out here more! I wish I could go to the Bandster Bash this weekend, but I have a lot on. Have fun if you're going! Hopefully I can be there next year.

Cheers!
Ginger
