Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 I, having had lower advancement of 5 mm, with 3 to the right, think that lower only is definitely easier than having work on the upper. It does not engage all that super-vascular breathing tissue, for one thing. And if you're not being wired shut, that's a big whooo-pee! Ask whatever I may be able to help you with... You will find your diet limited, but you will also be able to eat (drink) many wonderful things, and I would think you will fare well. Numbness can be a concern, and ask your doc carefully what he thinks your prospects are on that one -- I, mercifully (and thank you again, Dr. Z.!) had none, from the beginning. C. > > Hey all..
