You're looking great, Sarah! I am jealous about how soon you were able to go to soft chew, I am at 6 weeks and still on liquid/blended diet, and have another 2 weeks to go before I graduate to soft chew. Your smile is looking great for 3 weeks! Mine still looks quite wonky, both showing teeth and wi...

You are looking great, Ozzys Mom! It really does amaze me how quickly the body heals after the first 2 weeks. It seems like from then on, changes from day to day are a bit more subtle, not nearly as dramatic as those first couple weeks! I am six weeks post-op, and still have quite a bite of residual...

You're looking great! It sounds like things are going well for you recovery wise. Hope you get everything sorted out orthodontically. I was supposed to have my palate expanded during surgery, but my tissue was so tight that my OS couldn't do it. He ended up doing just a one piece LeForte. So I guess...

Wow, you are looking great for 5 weeks post-op! And your results are great, I am sure you are very pleased you did both the upper and lower. You are about a week ahead of me, I had surgery on Sept. 9th. I still have some residual swelling, and my smile is still quite awkward because it pulls on my s...

What reasons do the surgeons generally give for not allowing hard or crunchy foods after 3 or 4 weeks? Isn't the bone pretty much all healed up by that point? Seems like anyone I know that has had broken bones somewhere have been all healed up after only a few weeks. Since different OS's have very ...

No wonder my throat hurts! Stitches all the way across my used to be uvula and soft palate!!!! Oh, you poor thing! Not something that most of us have to endure while going through orthognathic surgery! I hope it heals up for you quickly so you get some relief. And now my lips meet in their resting ...

Waking up for me was a very pleasant experience. I remember be wheeled down the hall in my bed, and hearing the nurse ask someone why I wasn't going to pediatrics. I remember asking what she was talking about (to my surprise, I could talk right out of surgery), and she said that pediatrics was for a...

I had the nebulizer too ... I forgot about that little detail in the hospital. They wanted me to keep it on to minimize conjestion, but it kept getting in the way of the ice packs. Seriously, you sound like you're doing very well, besides the sore throat, which hopefully will go away for you soon. I...
