Re: one day post op

[Guest guest]

My lower jaw surgery was last monday and the first day I thought I was

more swollen than anyone elses picture too. You can see the shot in my

album where I'm leaving the hospital the next day... It got a little

bigger than that at it's biggest but just as everyone here assured me-

though it was hard to belive at the time- , by the end of the week, it

was drastically down and by yesterday it was only just a little puffy.

I am a bit green through the chest area but even that's fading to

nothing.

Good Luck!
