Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi! I am 5 days post-op and really swollen. How long does the swelling last for??? I think I look so ugly- like a pig. My doc is vey pleased with me for how i'm coping.I cried when I saw my first post-op x-ray. These maxillo-facial surgeons can really do amazing things for someones self-esteem as I know I will look stunning when all the swelling goes down. I had upper/lower surgery and my chin repositioned- hectic stuff - it was especially weird when I came round from the anaesthetic and had that horrible naso-gastic tube down my throat as well as my jaw banded shut. The other thing that I'm hating is the all-liquid diet- i live on soup,smoothies,milo,juice and water at the moment. Thank goodness It's only for 3-4 weeks!!!!!!!!! dont know how long I can last for without losing too much weight- I only weigh 50kgs! Oh, how much weight can I expect to lose??? Can't wait for the end result - i know my boyfriend will be happy when I'm not swollen anymore and so will I. Please reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
