Guest guest Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well today confirmed what I kinda knew all along, I am 9 days post op now and I will have to get a second surgery done in 5 days to correct my bite. I visited my surgeon today and he took a look at me and said I am gonna have to go back in surgery to adjust my bite. My surgeon said when I came of anesthia I was pretty wild and he said I grabbed my chin and tried to open my mouth up thats probably when I pulled a plate loose or something. I really trust my surgeon he is supposedly very good, I stopped by my Orthodontist's office and talked to her for a few minutes and asked her about my surgeon just for some reassurance and she said he is excellent and if she had children he would be the one to do surgeries if they ever needed them, she is a very good orthodontist and that made me feel better hearing what she said. Im just very depressed that I have to go through this again although my surgeoon said it not going to be nearly as bad as the first one, but I am still gonna have alot of swelling again, pain, and he said be banded shut for at least one week. I am really feeling good right now its only been nine days but I am gonna go back to work for a few days up until my surgery. I guess things happen and there isnt much you can do about it, my ortho said in 7 years dealing with my surgeon she only knows one other time that someone hade to go back in to get a redo...go figure I am number two. Well my splint is off, got a couple of bands on, and I guess I get to do it again next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
