Sarme/ Sarpe newbie

#1 Post by Kerryboo »

Hi, I'm 5 days post op after having sarme/ sarpe surgery. I've been turning my expander twice a day since day 3 and I am now seeing a gap.
I have so much swelling and pressure from the expander. It's been a lot harder than I thought.
Is anyone going through this at the moment?

Hi, I had Sapre 4 weeks ago!

Yes it is full on hey.... The swelling is painful, I still have some, but it's much better :-)

Some say it's harder than jaw surgery... Due to increasing the width everyday. I only turn mine once a day....don't know how you do it 3 times!!

I was on Endone post op, what did they give you?
