2 weeks

It's hard to believe that two weeks from today I'll be recovering. Got my surgical archwire yesterday, it's pretty fricken sweet lol. Well...I'm just counting down!

18 days!!! EEK!

So yesterday I went to the surgeon. First thing they took me back and had XRAYS done. After that we met with the nurse for a health history, and surgery info. I learned that I could be numb for up to a year!! SCARY! We got food guidelines, instructions, etc. Then I met with the resident surgeon who explained my procedure. They're moving my bottom jaw forward 5 to 6 mm and I might have to get a chin implant. We signed the papers and now it's official, I'm getting my jaw surgery on October 7th! I will be getting my surgical archwire next Tuesday. That's all for now!

21 days until..

Today was the first day I have actually cried about getting the surgery. The realization that we had made the down payment and there was no turning back is getting to me. Also, the fact that my boyfriend of two and a half years cannot come to my surgery was a big upset..


Ugh...im getting to anxious!!
Tomorrow is the pre surgery appointment, exactly three weeks away from the surgery...I think by the time it gets here my face will be all broken out lol, I woke up with a huge zit on my forehead thanks to all of this stressing....

Anyway I'll let you know how tomorrow goes!!

22 days...and counting.

SoOo I took some more pictures of my messed up bite, I thought I would load those up. Wednesday I go to the Oral Surgeon for my pre op visit and then Friday I have an orthodontist appointment, I'm wondering if they will put the bands on.....

Getting really nervous for surgery, mostly the pain and blood....

Anyway I don't have much to say...here are the pictures.

23 days till surgery

(A profile view....and my fat chin...)

Lets just say I'm freaking out!! I have read all of this stuff saying this surgery isn't bad and I shouldn't be freaking out but I am..I have so many questions...

My surgery is scheduled for October 7, I have to meet with the surgeon next Wednesday for a pre surgery history...and stuff, not sure what else. I am having a orthognathic surgery, a reconstruction of my mandible...scary stuff.

Does anyone have a list of things (like food) I need to buy before this??

(look how messed up my bite is!)
