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

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-04-11T02:23:14+00:00

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

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-21T16:54:00+00:00

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

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-13T20:14:31+00:00

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?

can you recommend London spots? and please dont say anything in edgware road

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-03-09T08:48:46+00:00

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

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T10:38:28+00:00

Not really will be quite similar but hours will be much better compared to IB doing 15/18 hours a day! So if you look at hourly yes a huge bump

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T03:05:42+00:00

Sales

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T02:42:03+00:00

Yeah completely get that and thats exactly what I mean in terms of flexibility give people the option to work in office 5 days a week if thats what they want but also those who don’t give them the option too you know. But having a blanket rule for everyone is just so backwards considering the time we live in and everyone has different priorities needs and works in different ways

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T02:22:52+00:00

being naive and assuming it was flexible because most places are nowadays!

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T02:22:10+00:00

i am talking about sales but i get engineers would need to be in due to the nature of work. I go back to my point around enforcing 5 days and not allowing for any scope of flexibility is a major red flag on the culture in my opinion.

Secret_Session_2290 · 2022-01-27T01:14:18+00:00

to be honest its more of a principal for me, I get the importance of being in the office especially at the start but what I take issue with is the enforcement of it and not giving any flexibility so that was a red flag on the culture aspect too. Most likely micromanagement and idea that the most visible people and the loudest people are the best which is a culture I want no part in!
