3 months postop

[Guest guest]

Hey all, Life is busy around here so I am rarely on this site

lately. I just wanted to post for all the pre-oppers out there and

let you know that at 3 months out from upper and lower, I have no

numbness at all. I can feel my lower lip and chin, (and they were

the last to " un numb.. " ) as well as my palate. I am 12 mm short of a

normal opening, but that will come if I just work on stretching

more. The problems I had prior to surgery, (headaches, open bite,

tmj, pain) are a distant memory. In fact, these last few weeks I

have had days where I even forget I had the surgery and take eating

a piece of pizza for granted! SHAME ON ME. Early recovery was

difficult and I hated the stent, being banded shut. I lost 20

pounds, which put me down to around 90. Now I am happily back at 100

and have resumed all my activities except boxing. Haha. So for me,

the surgery was a complete success and I have no lasting effects. I

hope this is the case for many, many of you, because this is a

difficult and rather life changing surgery.

God bless,

Alix
