Guest guest Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 I had upper and lower jaw surgery last Tuesday. The surgeon also expanded my upper jaw to fit over my bottom. In addition to all of that I had some lypsuction done under my neck/chin. I am wired/banded shut with a splint and cannot talk. I can barely grunt! It is driving me CRAZY. I keep getting really emotional about everything....plus I have a 9 month old son who isn't hearing my voice! Has anyone else had this done? How long did you wear a splint? My whole face is completely numb, how long will that last? I'm wondering if he cut a nerve or something since I can't even feel my lips. I'm getting to a pretty low point and need some support. Although, I do give incredible thanks for such a wonderful husband who has been outstanding and so supportive this last week. Any advise??? I see him for a 1 week post-op the day after tomorrow (Tues). What should I say? I just want to talk! Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
