Pre-Op for SARPE (surgically assisted rapid pallet extention)

Went to the Oral Surgeon and he thought the pallet extender looked fine and I was all set for surgery on December 9, 2008. He told me that the pallet extender will actually not only extend my pallet but also stablize my upper jaw. Getting nervous about the surgery as I never had surgery before but my family is being very supportive and I should not miss much work so I am ready.
