Hi again,

I've just PM'ed you - let me know if you don't get it

@kelhuntley: I am moving to Auckland in July and as I have to go through surgery again, I would be thankful if you could give me some advice where in AKL or NZ i could find a very experienced surgeon. My surgery was on March 22nd but it went wrong, so I had to do it again on April 19th. It still is...

I saw my orthodontist and surgeon yesterday and I am getting debraced on the 20th July!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so excited!!

Hi all, haven't been on here lately, but just thought I would check in to see how everyone is going. I've moved cities and started a new job since I was last on here, and everything has gone really well! I'm 9 weeks post-op tomorrow (YAY!), and like you Rick I can pretty much eat whatever I want. I ...

Hi all 4 weeks, and 2 days today post op - YAY! Had my first official adjustment with my orthodontist this afternoon. All went really well - she said my bite is looking great and she is really pleased. She removed some of my surgical hooks and was going to leave it at that, but then decided she woul...

Thanks guys I've purchased a dentist type mirror, so when that arrives I'll have a good looksie inside! Good to know it is all part of the normal process!

Okay – so I’ve been having a REALLY weird sensation inside my mouth whenever I brush my teeth. When I brush my left hand side teeth it feels like there is a VERY taught rubber band inside my cheek going into my chin and it feels like the toothbrush is stretching that rubber band EVEN MORE, when it i...

Rick - I'm totally with you on that one. I went back to work after a week because I was going nuts sitting at home and I think it was the best thing for me. I included a few walks at lunchtime and started walking to and from work after a few days (half an hour each way). And I think it really helped...

Hey March buddies, and anyone else reading :), 3 weeks post-op for me today - the time has zoomed on by, although the surgery is starting to feel like a distant memory. Have attached a couple of new pics. Still struggling to smile properly - it is very lopsided and looks more like a grimace ;) Went ...

Hi all, I am 2 weeks, 4 days post op now. Had another appointment with my surgeon on Wednesday. He said I can stop wearing the back rubber bands (hurrah!), so I'm only wearing the front/side ones now. I don't go back to see him until the 28th April now! He said I can start jogging (gently) again and...

Wow! You look fantastic, so great to see your before and after pics!!
Hope work went well for you

Two weeks post-op today and I have only JUST tried a mirror while eating. I just managed a bowl of rice with smoked chicken AND a cupcake without getting it all down my chin and front. Hurrah! Can't wait for this numbness to go. I'm meant to be going out for dinner with work in two and half weeks ti...

Oh Juneyer that sounds horrible :( I hope your infection clears quickly. I wonder if this is a common occurrence, you'd think they'd warn you so that you can preempt it by covering with wax. Does anyone know where the stitches actually are in the lower jaw, I haven't really opened up enough to have ...

Here's a before (day of surgery) and after (today - 12 days post-op) side-on shot.

Managed to eat a baked potato today covered in home-made guacamole and tinned tomatoes - SO GOOD!!!
