Re: Orthognathic Surgery Help

Good Morning Elmo I am 12 days post op from having upper and lower

jaw surgery. I was not wired only splinted and rubber banded. But

yes right out of surgery I could talk just not perfect. The morphine

in the hospital helped. Hurt well every case is different and it just

depends on how numb you are. I am only numb in one little spot on my

nose so for the first 9 days I had pain in my upper jaw. Today on day

12 I have no pain just a little swelling in the mouth yet. And as for

chewing food that depends on what your oral surgeon recomends. For me

no I can't chew yet but I just blend everything. Last night I was

hungry for Breakfast so I blended 2 eggs, 2 pancakes 2 sausage links

added milk to thin out and wow It was good. You just have to get a

little creative. Good luck.
