Kellyw123, i know how you feel, i broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years just before sarpe surgery and just found out that he had been cheating on me for quite a while, and now, 2 years down the track he is just about to get married to the girl that he split up with me for. i took the break up as a r...

my mum and dad were a bit shell shocked when i was in hospital, but not grossed out to much. my major problem the whole way along has been migraine's which 3+ months down the track are still pestering me - so i was in a lot of pain from them. but while i was in the high dependency unit, i could here...

having tonsills and adenoids out as an adult is no walk in the park, however if it is absolutely necessary to pro's will most likely outweigh con's, but it can be a lot more painfull as an adult compared to as a kid as they have to dig a lot harder to get them out and they tend to be much larger whe...

stinks about your step pop, all my well wishes. im 3 months post op now, and still have a rip roaring migraine and really sensitive teeth - like i can only use a baby toothbrush otherwise i feel like im going to throw up and i cant use my interdental toothbrush anymore. its making me a little parano...

i've actually had a huge change to my nose as a result of my 3-peice le forte. so much so that in a few months so that i will have to have to have a septoplasty done to correct a deviated septum that was created as a result of advancing the maxilla. this is a very rare complication and to prevent th...

well, it was not specifically surgically related - but i got a usb key ring photo frame so now i can show of ugly post op pics (and others) any time i like!

my gap post sarpe was very slow to start, but then all of a sudden it was as if it just started flying open and the gap would become noticeable larger by the day, so i wouldnt worry to much

hey guys, would just like some feed back, are coming up to nearly 7 weeks post op and am eating pretty well back to normal, however when i chew i get this weird feeling, like i can actually feel my chin (guessing from my genio) moving about, its a very weird sensation, not painful but very uncomfort...

mmh, you should be fine at work, ive just managed to do 3 night shifts in a row, so just listen to what your body tells you. in saying that, im about to make a dr's cert to cover me for tomorrow (i just finished work (730am) and am sposed to start work tomorrow morning at 7am) and boxing day, as it ...

to all of you who have been helping and supporting me through this whole ordeal. well its getting on near 6 weeks post op which makes it nearly 6 weeks with a migraine - only 1 day migraine free! which has made it a very unenjoyable 6 weeks i must say - a nightmare might be more accurate! i am howev...

i have looked after kids post op turbinectomy and septoplasty and they seem to do ok, in saying that, kids tend to do better than adults on a whole - there just better that way! but you should be ok. in regards to packs or just splints in nasal passages, most kids ive looked after tend to have packs...

i first saw an ortho and surgeon when i was 14 and they said they wouldn't start anything till i was at least 19 cos of growth, so i started the process at about 19 1/2 and have just had surgery and i am now 21, so its rare to have growth late in life, but i guess possible. when i was in hosp, the g...
