There was little pain, mostly because my nerves were stretched so I didn’t have any feeling. I didn’t loose much weight, because I tried my...

Surgery Cancelled
Today I was scheduled for upper jaw surgery but it got cancelled. I am so bummed out right now. I spent so much money to get here and waited a few years for this day to finally come. Now I need to reschedule and hopefully I’ll be able to come back in a couple months. Anyone else had their surgery ca...
