I had upper and lower jaw surgery at the same time, where most only have upper, or only have lower. I've been through more dental work then anyone could imagine, so if anyone is considering getting this surgery, or has been toold they should I am very experienced and knowlaged in the subject so if you have any questions about it I'll do my best to answer. I know it would have been helpful for me to be able to talk to someone prior to deciding to do the whole thing. So I'm here if anyone has questions!
Hi. I am having jaw surgery in 3 weeks and I was wondering if you could tell me what to expect for recovery. I am having my lower jaw moved forward and my upper jaw broken and realigned to fix my huge open bite and over bite. What was your diet like? How much weight did you lose?
