Guest guest Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Hi, I am new to this site and looking for any advice you may have. I have had on my braces since March and am scheduled for surgery in December. My lower jaw is too long and off-center, so although it appears fine (and I had braces as a teenager to straighten my teeth), my bite is horrible and I have a lot of pain and migraines. Has anyone else had this problem and had it fixed with surgery? Anyway, I am really looking forward to having the surgery completed, but am starting to get nervous now that it's getting so close and the date has been scheduled! Some of my main questions are: after the surgery, how long were you in bed or feeling really badly? how long did you take off from work? with your jaw wired shut, what are the best things to " eat " ? how did you avoid feeling sick from not eating enough? how about exercise? I know that my surgeon will be able to provide me some information but I know its not as good as someone who's actually had it done. So, any info you can give me would be much appreciated - thanks!!
