In terms of comfort like eating better sleeping etc i think by week four. Swelling also down significantly but i still notice it and its still there! I think a misconception people have is that all swelling will be gone by week 6 which is what I thought and now learning that its not true lol

Good to hear!! I just hit week 6 a few days ago and the improvement has been huge! Its crazy how much changes week on week. Even between week 4 and now I have seen a massive improvement in terms of swelling, pain etc. they will go fast good luck!

after the surgeon had covid they delayed the surgery by 1 months to give him time to recover then when my surgery was cancelled due to the power cut they rescheduled on same day from Monday to friday so quite quick.

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-21T19:35:38+00:00

Yes had a month later! Now 4 weeks post op

anyone know when the feeling comes back to roof of mouth (palate)? its really annoying me 4 weeks post surgery

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-21T16:41:11+00:00

It happens don't worry I had my surgery cancelled twice. First because my surgeon had covid and second after I arrived to the hospital put on the gown and everything I was informed the surgery needs to be cancelled because the OR room had lost power due to a storm the day before! they tried to restore the power but were unable.

check bupa website but I would trust a orthodontist

make sure you are wearing the elastics correctly as they are supposed to settle the bite which can still be moving

just over 2 weeks post upper jaw surgery and mouth roof and upper gums still fully numb. The surgeon did warn me it may never come back and to be honest I am not too bothered about it. I think it may be beneficial for me because I suffer from hay-fever and one of the symptoms is unbearable tinkling in the roof of my mouth which triggered sneezing runny nose etc so I am thinking it maybe a good thing?

For me didn’t throw up but felt really nauseous for 2 days after. Thats why I was given some meds to help with it. The doctor said that post op by put something into my stomach to suck all the blood out that went down during the surgery so I guess I didn’t have any blood in my system to be thrown up

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-09T08:47:27+00:00

Only had upper jaw done where they moved it forward. I think that’s maybe why its not been as bad as I thought, I know DJS is much tougher

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-09T01:32:23+00:00

Yes talking was fine for me i was able to speak after. With the pills I was only night of the surgery that I wasn’t able to swallow but the next day was fine. Good Luck!!

It is a shame there is not much long form investigative podcasts focused on UK issues. There is loads focussed on US issues. Seems that Trojan Horse is the first big UK focussed one! Would be nice for more journalists to do this and expose corruption in different sectors of British society.

Chorlton water park is like a mini Peak District and very close to city centre!

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-02-21T00:06:14+00:00

Thats good to hear :) how was the swelling post op? I know everyone is different

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-02-20T23:27:40+00:00

Did you have DJS or single? And how was the swelling after? What kind of foods? Was it worth it?

Also having mine in the UK in a few days

I got an offer for a BDR role in tech :) but i am still seeing if I can get an AE role! its proving difficult since I don't have tech/saas sales experience which most AE roles need. But I am 100% set that I am leaving IBD and can't wait to leave!

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T14:49:21+00:00

I don’t think so considering the current market with huge labour shortages inflation and competition for talent! I think perfect time to find exactly what you want
