Guest guest Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hello Group, This is my first post, though I have been reading for a couple months. I am having surgery on August 31st. It will be a LeForte I and BSSO to correct my underbite. My OS tells me I will have a splint and be banded with firm elastics for the 1st week and then lighter elastics after that. For the most part I feel like I am ready for the surgery- I'm 26 and have known I needed it for several years and now it's finally about to happen. I've been going through my shopping list of supplies that I think I will need and I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for a good lip balm or something for the lips for healing afterward? I've never been a big chapstick user so I really have no idea what works good. Also what has worked best for people for dealing with the nasal congestion? Is Afrin good? The congestion and breathing problems I hear about is what I'm dreading most about this whole ordeal. I'm sure I will probably have more questions later as the date draws near. This group is very helpful, so thanks to all who share their experiences. Best wishes to everyone else who has an upcoming surgery too.
