Guest guest Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hi! I recently had orthognathic surgery and had similar concerns. I suffered mild vomiting from swallowing blood, but nothing unbearable and certainly nothing that would damage the result. I have had asthma and was also woried about the breathing, but found that it was pretty good, I just had to get used to not breathing out of my nose for a bit, but that all cleared up with time. My surgeon was really good in making sure I was comfortable with the breathing. I am only a teenager, and this was my first anaesthesia, so I panicked about everything! I got through it all, so you will be fine!
