Great to "see" you Dave!  I'm sure you look much different now as 85 pounds is a lot of "change".

See you soon!

 

Tell someone that you love them!

how nice to see you, but where is the smile to you with how nice you are to everyone,

      Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!

You know, I have really been working on my smile.

Long story, but on Christmas Eve about 22 years ago when I was about 16-17 I got into a fight with a couple guys who wanted some money I had.

They knocked my front left tooth out. (they also stabbed me a couple times and shot me) 

Anyway, when I got home my mom pushed the tooth back into my mouth and took me to the hospital.

they stitched me up and sent me home.

The next day (Christmas) she called the family dentist at home. (he was a family friend) and took me in for a root canal (Merry Christmas). He saved the tooth, but it is slowly dying. It is a little darker then the othe teeth. So even though I am the happiest guy in the world I have a horrible bad smile.  I guess I never smiled as a kid because I was self conscious.

I do have a smile, but it is only the left side of my mouth.

So I have been working on smiling.

Right now I am kinda scary when I smile.

 I want this guys smile.
