Re: MARCH 2011 BUDDIES
@kelhuntley: How long does it take to get an appointment with him and did you have to pay the surgery by yourself or is any insurance in NZ covering this?

Freaky.....
You look amazing, beautiful! I hope you are pleased, I know it's been a long road for you! But this beautiful sunny weather we are having should make you feel better for sure! We've been back for about 2 months, I changed orthos, and I really like the guy in Novi that I picked! Even took my kid for a consult there this week! Continue to heal and best of luck!

Re: MARCH 2011 BUDDIES
I need to write a post on my blog about this, but it's been four months now and I am having a lot of discomfort (burning painful lips) from the nerve that got cut during surgery. My OS wants me to start on Neurontin.

Re: MARCH 2011 BUDDIES
I wonder if any of my buddies are still around? Looking back now, jaw surgery was one of the easiest things I've ever done. Even at the time, the only bad thing was the nausea and that disappeared after a week. If anyone is reading this, get the surgery!!
