Oral Surgery

`/for any new comers to my blog I have had jaw surgery and 6 week post op. Been on a strict no chew diet and yesterday my surgeon gave me the ok to chew SOFT foods. She specially told me not to go buy a steak even though I am craving it so bad. As for swelling wise all is most part gone sensation and feeling wise in my lower lip is still a work in progress. I see my ortho next week to get these god damn surgical hooks back aqnd boy can I see the light at the end of the tunnel. will post pictures ...

So I am a little over 5 weeks post op and i cannot be more pleased with the results. I still am a tiny bit swollen but not for nothing it isnt as bad as I had pictured. Only thing that I dislike is not being able to sleep through the night because i cannot sleep on my side, and that I am legit constantly hungry. I have an appointment next week with the surgeon and hopefully will get the ok to chew. Was never banded or had a bite splint. Also set up my ortho appointment so that I can get these god ...

This is a video that the shows what they did. When I get home I'll upload the pictures

At least it is almost Biniki season so this 'diet' can only help my figure right??? lol. ...

So this week I've been busy. I had my post op appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday. After her being afraid to come in the room since she thought I was gonna kill her from all the bruising and soreness, I was told I was doing great and wouldn't need to see her again until my next surgery for my lower jaw. She did say she knew it was going to be bad for me. She wasnt even done with the surgery and I was already bruising and swelling so she thought there may be some bleeding so she made a few more ...

Since I was able to stay awake a lil longer I thought I would post an update. I had my surgery on tuesday (the second), for my palate opened and wisdom removed. I don't know how many times she started turning my expander but i already have a gap in my front teeth a kinda big one and I'm kinda happy but not really. Let me say wisdom teeth stink to get taken out. I been quite swollen and as it seems to go down it increases later on. I was able to look at where they were removed. My lowers looks like ...
