Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hi all, Either my computer or my internet was being stupid and somehow I got removed from the group. And since my computer has been slow for the past week or so I haven't had a chance to get on here until now to rejoin. lol. Anyway, it'll be 3 weeks post op on Tuesday and compared to other stories I've heard, I think I'm doing pretty good! Swelling is basically gone completely, and I never really had any bruising to begin with. This past Wednesday the surgeon put on MUCH looser rubber bands so that now I can actually manage to eat mashed potatoes, etc, instead of the liquid diet. I was so excited. I just have two little rubber bands on the right side! That's it! My jaw's pretty sore though now. The muscles aren't used to moving. The surgeon said he'd probably release me in about 3 weeks, so yay! I'm almost half way done! Anybody who's waiting to have their surgery done, don't worry- you'll be fine. The first few days are the hardest and it only gets easier after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
