I will be the person on the other end of the spectrum here. I do regret getting my surgery. I had the lower jaw moved forward back in december. I had to go back again in february because all the hardware was coming out of my jaw. Then back in again a third time at the end of last month beacuse the h...

Well, my 1 hour surgery turned into a 3 hour surgery. They replaced all the hardware on the left side of my jaw as it never healed at all for some reason. They used longer screws, and they threw an extra screw in for good measure. I guess I also had one screw loose on the right side so they replaced...

Just hoping everything goes well tomorrow and it will the the last time I have to go in for anything like this. Thanks for ...

Have to go in for 2nd surgery
While on vacation about 12 days ago, after eating and doing my jaw stretching I realized that two teeth on the left side of my mouth were touching that never used to touch before. And this was also causing me to not be able to bite down on the right side. It would get worse throughout the day and wo...

How long was it before you could sleep laying flat again?
I sure do miss being able to sleep laying down completely. I tried sleeping laying down on Satruday night and woke up resembling a Cabbage Patch kid on sunday morning. :lol: I've been trying once a week over the last 3 weeks to see if my face will not swell up on me when I sleep laying down. But the...

Another shifing bite question...
Is it normal for it to shift at all? I have been unwired since last Friday, and everything has gone relatively ok since then. I have been wearing my rubber band except when eating and letting my face have a break for a little bit after eating. The teeth get brushed and they go back in. Last night af...

Hello everyone! Things are still going good. Been posting pics and stuff in my blog (link is in my sig). I was wondering when did everyone have their first Post-Op with their surgeon? What did they do at this appointment? Did they take xrays and such? One of my family members is going to be calling ...

So, today has been a really tough day for me. One problem is just not being able to speak, its proving to be absolutely frustrating. But the thing that is bothering me the most is I'm not able to get anything thicker than a tomato soup through my teeth and bite plate. I can't get any applesauce in, ...
