My nose hooks down too. If my insurance ever approves this surgery, it will be an upper/lower advancement. It would be nice to lose that hook. Sherry...
hello rvidaillet You're lucky having the splint off after 10 days. My doctor said i'll be having the external screws for about a month. but he said ill be able...
Hi everyone i was wondering if someone who has had the operation could help me with somethings.. next saturday im having my operation and im really scared of...
Hi Joanne, My ortho was conservative too, my surgeon less so. I tried not to give in to my natural impatience throughout this and things worked out well for...
You could always do what people in Japan do - they wear surgical masks if they have a cold (so that others don't get it), and often people wear them so they...
Sue, So sorry to hear that you had that terrible time with your ears. I know, it's for the birds and sometimes no matter what we do -- it just doesn't help. I...
Hi Pablo, You are getting very close... congratulations! What type of surgery are you having? You are going through very normal feelings... I had my surgery...
Very true. I was clearing out dried blood for a few days. I used a Q-tip to clean the inside of the nasal cavities. ... have terrible sneeze and cough post-op....
I worried just the same. Specially since I saw the operation on cable (1hr.) and did so much research, I actually discussed step by step with my OS. I needed...
I called BCBS to find out the proper way to appeal (by myself because my OS office doesn't go past the first denial) and they seemed so shady. No one wanted...
Hi Pablo, you do not have to be scared.I am in my 4th day post-surgery and I stoped the pain medication already.Most os the face is numb anyway....so even if...
Thanks, im having both upper and lower surgery, i did a lot of research too which helped me get better acquainted with what was going to happen. But just the...
WOW! So glad you called. I've been told by at least one member who works for an insurance company that it is policy to deny, to make things as difficult as...
I flew from Canada to the UK for business about 11 weeks post-op, everything was fine except I couldn't open my mouth enough to relieve the pressure in my...
well, this was my second surgery, a corrective surgery and I have to say it was a lot harder. Right now I'm home and my head hurts so bad I can't stand it. And...

second day post-op and I can't take the antibotics. I know that is very important but when I put it in my mouth it comes back up. I tastes like watermelon and...
Yikes! Sounds like what I have heard of, but never braved, as a roller coaster. I think I'll pass on the screams with joy, fear and excitement -- I've had...
Hi Tonya You gotta call the surgeon's office or preferably pager # and get her/him or whomever is on call to get you a different prescription for antibiotics....
Hi Cammie, I am sorry that you couldn't see my pictures..I received a message from one of the members here I think Diane and it was my understanding that there...
Well, it's a flat out lie to say that there is no room on site 2 for photos, there's plenty, and there will always be room there as I actively work on that...
-Tonya, I suggest having someone call the pharmacy for you and explain your situation to them- maybe they can exchange it and give you a new flavor. If not,...
And it totally makes sense that the insurance companies would do their best to make you think they aren't going to pay for the surgery. People do give up when...
Happy, I dunno what that's about, or what anybody was thinking to suggest that there isn't space on site2... Or, indeed, why Diane would be messaging you...
Is the SARPE appliance what they put in the top of your mouth to expand (widen) the upper jaw? I think that is what I'm getting ready to go through. Last...
abso-bloomin-lutely, Miz Rnwhoknits. It's nothing short of loony to persist without antibiotics... If need be, you could even go to the hospital and get them...
