Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hi girls and guys. I'm new to the group, but have been reading posts and doing a little research. I am supposed to be having my surgery very soon. . like hopefully within a month. I'm not sure what the technical name is, but i have a class 3 occlusion. . so, an underbite with it pulling to the left. i have seen through models what the process will be like, but i don't know much about what to expect from the recovery process. .. which is probably the hardest part about this whole thing. Here are my questions. . there are a few and i appreciate any honeset input available. how long is the recovery process? what type of drugs will i be on? and for how long? when will most of the swelling go down? when will i be able to resume physical activities like walking or running? will i be able to work? (i work with children) how did you cope with the recovery experience? that's all for now. thanks for reading much love derrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
