Did you ever get your response?  I've sent everything in as of last week and am curious as to how long the process takes.  I'm hoping a couple of weeks but am guessing it could take a couple of months?  I know their office is very busy.
They have had my impressions for 2 months now. The last time I inquired was a probably 3 weeks ago. "Doctor is very busy". I don't want to hassle them to much, otherwise they'll get some intern to do it, lol.

best thing is to just make an appointment with gunson or arnett. you can usually get one within 3 months time, go there, you'll meet the doc, they'll do a full spiel with you and examine you and then explain their treatment.

"Dr gunson is finishing the report". That was more than 2 weeks ago.

Kimberly followed up today after I asked about the status of my analysis and said she still needed intake forms, which I emailed 7/18 so a month ago.  I'm beginning to think my treatment will be complete by the time I get my analysis file.

I had one scheduled early July but withdrew early June once I heard of the paper consultation.  It was a bad idea in hindsight.

Finally replied. I still think it's worth seeing him in person. Had I not lived 20000 kms away, I would have.

Did you get to speak with him over the phone, or is it just a write-up?  Did you get your specific questions answered?  What was recommended?

Setback.

Does this imply that he thinks you were over-advanced and should've had bimax with a slight mandible setback? I'm sorry man :(

Thanks for your answers, but I've actually had the consultations and surgery now. But for anyone else who is interested, who lives in a different state/country, the paper consult is a good preliminary step, then you can fly out, re-do all the measurements and have the surgery whilst you're over there. That's what I did!

Where did you fly from?  Im from NY so its a hike for me.   How was the hotel you stayed in?  Do they have a lot of hotels close to A&G's hospital? 
The more I learn about the gamble that is jaw surgery the more afraid I become!!!   :-(

yeah tons it's a beautiful city you'll have a great time there. Gunson and Arnett are the ones to go with if you have the cash...

Nervous, but I think its something I need to do.
