Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hey all, I'm now 8 weeks post op from having leforte 1 and lower jaw advancement. My surgeon was ready to take off my splint last week, however; we have to wait till next week to coordinate it with my ortho. Everything has been going pretty well considering I had 2 surgeries in one day. Thats right, My surgeon finished me in 8 hours the first time, but didn't like the results so took me appart and started all over for a total of 16 hours. All this time I was asleep. My parents just about died waiting for me that long. I was very glad I never threw up, as I was expected to because my body had a great deal of drugs go through it. Fast forward to now, swelling is pretty much gone and I'm able to chew very soft things. I've only had one problem with my wounds in my mouth, where the sutures came out. My surgeon had to go and scrape the wound out in order for it to heal over. I'm really close and can feel it. I have read some of the other posts about having relapse and hardware problems later on down the road. I'm just hoping now that none of that will happen.
