12th Adjustment: One Year Down! New “Legos” and New Elastics Configuration

One year down… hopefully only one more to go!
After the whole “bite down” spiel, he said, “This is looking really good. You can stop this elastic,” (meaning the one on the right; the only one I was using), and I was ecstatic…for about 2 seconds. He turned right around and told the assistant, “Drop some hooks on the lower 4s, and put a C-chain on the top.” I knew what that meant… more elastic wear!
So, she stuck the hooks into my Damons (like building Lego blocks), and now I’m back to wearing them on both sides, in an inverted triangle configuration. I’m not in any discomfort yet, but I can tell these things are going to rub like crazy. I managed to sneak in a quick question and asked, “Are these supposed to help level my left side?” and he said, “Yep!” (Guess that’s all I would get out of him today.)
So, that’s about it. Nothing too exciting this time, but I’m happy to see some sort of progress. His assistant told me that I may eventually get a zig-zag configuration, which I believe is to keep the bite in place. I anticipate losing a lot of weight during that period.
A few pics (including one of the hook, complete with yellow dot!)
