whilst you should be well and truly up to the trip energy wise, one thing to check would be if you can go on any rides at disneyland, if this concerns you that is. 3 months post op might not be soon enough for the best rides.

best tip for the actual procedure would be to take some ibuprofin about 45 minutes before you are scheduled to go in, oh and eat a big steak tonight. once they are on, you will have some pain eating but that only lasts for a week or so, and then a couple of days after your first adjustment. after th...

Hi all, Day 19 for me, most of my visible swelling has gone now alothough i do have some puffyness in my jaw at about the point the the BSSO cut was made (i think, it was where i had a external stitch on each side). The big move for me today is that im back in the office, i worked from home last thu...

Hi all, glad to hear that everyone is powering on. im up to day 8 now so i thought id post a little update. As with everyone here, days 1 through 4 were the worst with swelling and general discomfort, i found that once i was able to be rid of the ice packs (end day 4) that my general outlook improve...

Glad to say I'm home now . Still using my phone to type. Been banded now and will be for 6 weeks apparently . Right now just hoping to get some good rest, I'm sure u all agree how hard it is to sleep in hospital with all the noise, beeps and changing of drips. Having my meds through the drip was muc...
