Re: Possible upper jaw surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi AdiI'm 25 and had upper and lower jaw surgery just over three weeks ago.

This surgery is a long process with a long recovery, but having said that, the

pain is not that bad I found. Numbness has been bothering me more than anything

else at the moment. I don't know about cutting anything around the nose but my

breathing has improved since the surgery. Also I vomited blood while in the

recovery room- It was nowhere near as horrible as you would think. You do have

a small " gap " between your teeth so liquid can come out without you choking. As

for recovery you'll definitely want a few weeks off work depending on what you

do - I've been very tired and easily worn out since the surgery. Hope this

helps. :)Avril
