hi! I'm entirely new to this forum. I'm 23 and scheduled to have both upper and lower jaw surgery in exactly one months time. I've been preparing for it for over a year in braces, but I'm getting pretty nervous the closer it comes. My mother is particularly worried that I will lose a lot of weight. My doctor told me that I will likely not be wired shut, but rather rubber-banded shut. How did you find eating post-op? Was it very difficult? About how long did it take you before you felt as if you could eat a normal diet?
Also, I'm curious about how long it took for the major swelling to go away...
Oh, I have zillions of questions, but I suppose I should limit them. Thanks for your help!
