Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Hi all - I've noticed that most everyone who has posted about after surgery has been wired shut. I'm having surgery (upper and lower) in Aug and my OS has said that I'm not going to be wired shut but will have rigid internal fixation - just little screws inside that will hold the bones together; I'll still be on a very soft diet for 6 weeks but I should be able to move my mouth right away. Has anyone else had this done instead of the wiring? Also how common is the numbness that is talked about - I hadn't really thought about it but it's kinda freaking me out a little now... thanks Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
