Hi Guys!!!! How are you all? I hope your keeping well!

Apologises for not being around much i have had a busy few months

and a few sad ones too, as my grandad sadly and unexpectedly passed

away just after new year.

I hope you all had a great christmas/new year/easter. This years

going fast!

its nice to see my surgery buddies are still around as often as they

were before. Hope your all ok.

I seem to remember making a promise a while back to put some updated

photos up, which are a bit over due as im almost 3 months post op.

Apologises again! I have a week off uni so if i get chance and i can

work out how to get them up i will do. Hmm i may have a yonder at

the photo section see if theres anyone i recognise!

Welcome to all the new members here! A brief recap for those who

dont know me. My names KAt. Im 19 and from the uk. I had Surgery

in april 2002 to remove my wisdom teeth. Then i had surgery on 1st

august 2002 to correct a severe class III under bite. I had both

upper and lower jaw surgery plus RPE and Nasal work. I was also as

my surgeon liked to call it 'his guinea pig' almost as i was the

first of his patients to have the dissolveable plates and screws

used during surgery. almost 3 years on and i cant feel the screw

heads below my eyes anymore. Relief! lol.... Any questions please

feel free to ask. Good luck to those who have apporaching surgeries

and i wish you all speedy recoveries.

Kind regards

Hi Kat

Suzan, in Guildford here. I'm intrigued about your dissolvable plates and kind

of freaked about the comment that you could no longer feel the screws beneath

your eyes! I hadn't even considered being able to feel the hardware holding my

face back together!!!

I haven't even got my braces yet and having been quite calm about the whole

process have recently started to get scared again, mainly about things like

numbness, regression, the recovery process. As people from the uk are a bit

more scarce on here I wondered who your surgeon was and if you had any numbness

problems, whether you're happy with your result, how long it took you to

recover, and did you go the NHS route or private? Sorry many Q's playing on my

mind at the moment, all helpful, advice accepted!
