Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing ok.
I had my surgery yesterday it went very well. My jaw bone looks very good and healed healthy. All plates have now been removed.
As of the surgery I was very sick again after but did not need to stay the night I just came home and Slept for 14 hours ish.
Feel so much better and happy now and am looking forward to getting my braces removed in about 6 to 8 months I hope.

Ty Mrs V.
I'm so much happier now. That's the last of the operations.
Am very sore and swollen but know that only be for a few days. All I do is sleep but more due to the general anasetic I have had that makes me that way.
Here to the end.
How's things with you.

Things are going ok, my braces come off on the 9th may. Fingers crossed.
Eating is still hard, I have trouble chewing food with my back teeth.
But I'm learning each day how to cope with my new bite.

Hi, beebop
Thank you very much. I'm from Brighton. I had my surgeries at the Royal Sussex County Hospital.
They were all fantastic.
Where are you from.

No worries scraggy - I'm along the southern coast in sunny Devon, I know Brighton quite well actually, a great place to be. Nearly moved there a few years ago!
