Guest guest Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Hello everyone! I was suppose to have this surgery back in April but my surgeon hurt his back. So I'm finally having it on Wed. I've already had the pallatal expansion about 2 yrs ago and am finally ready for the LeFort I. I'm also having genio done. Is this recovery similar to the last surgery? I'm pretty nervous. Does anyone have any suggestions about being able to breath well after surgery? For some reason I'm pretty freaked about being wired shut and having a really stuffy nose. I had a really stuffy nose with my expansion so I imagine this will be similar. Also any suggestions on relieving my stuffy nose when I'm home? Just thought I'd ask before the big day! I'm getting really nervous and I can't wait till this week is over. The waiting is killing me!!!!! Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hello - Best wishes on your surgery tomorrow. I'm sure that everything will go smoothly; this time tomorrow you will finally be on the other side and beginning the recuperation process. Relax and put your trust in your surgeon and all will go as planned. Take care and let us know how you are when you are able. I'll be sending you warm comforting thoughts tomorrow morning. ~~ Diane (BSSO & LeFort for an underbite - next summer) > Hello everyone!
