6 days post-op and things are great

[Guest guest]

I just visited my surgeon today. He was surprised at how little I

was swollen. He said that even though I am not ver swollen, it could

still take several weeks for the swelling to go away. He said that

after 6 weeks, he would not longer need to see me. He also said to

go ahead and lift weights at the two week mark!

I am already regaining feeling in my upper lip, but no feeling yet in

my upper gums.

Background: I am 23 male and had my upper jaw moved 3mm forward

without splitting it. Surgery was a breeze and swelling was

minimal. I plan on leaving the coutry for a few years in 3.5 months

so I might have to have braces while abroad.

Just so people reading this know, I am definitely glad I had this

done, as everything is going great.
