Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Greetings, This is my first message and I would appreciate hearing about your experience(s). I am scheduled for surgery in April and am wondering what to expect in terms of recouperation time (especially time I should take off from work). Thanks so much for your help.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Hi Jennie, I've posted mine and some others' experiences on the geocities info website at http://www.geocities.com/orthognathicinfo/ I had upper/lower/genio, thought I could take 2 weeks off and bounce right back to normal. Duh! Take as much time off as you can without jeopardizing your job. It's pretty hard to go back early, and then try to take time off if you can't handle it, especially when you look relatively normal. Most people don't understand what you'll be going through - it's pretty major surgery. You'll be tired, eating will be time-consuming, talking will be a chore and also tiring. Having said all that, I really breezed through my recovery. > > Greetings, > > This is my first message and I would appreciate hearing about your > experience(s).
