    Jaw Surgery Needs

    I'm having my overbite surgery on May 17. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions as to what kind of things I might need for post-op care. For eating, swelling, etc.

    I think this will be a good thread to start a list...

    I'll start and you can edit your post as this grows...
