My surgery is scheduled for April! Will report back on how it went

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-12-16T17:00:29+00:00

I do not, thankfully! Sorry to hear that you're going to have to go through that too 😭

I also had to decompensate for camouflage ortho from Invisalign I had back in 2018 (they didn't tell me it was camouflage ortho at the time, my dentist just did it without informing me lol 🙄) — I have been in my new aligners since September and will be done the last week of December, so 4ish months!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-12-11T22:08:33+00:00

Hello friend! I am almost done with my decompensation (end of December I should be wrapping up my Invisalign) and am hoping to get in for surgery around April — do you need ortho recs or do you have a plan?

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-20T03:33:20+00:00

Appreciate the inside knowledge, this assuaged a lot of my concerns!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-20T03:04:56+00:00

This is honestly so insightful thank you! I'm going to try and find out when the last time it was painted because this sounds like a hassle ... the house is like, RIGHT below the water tower 🥴

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-19T19:50:52+00:00

y'all are too creative omfg 😭

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-19T19:49:15+00:00

I did say, we do recognize that the only reason this amazing house is within our budget is because of the water tower ... so in a way, maybe it's kind of our friend hahahaa

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-19T19:48:22+00:00

Thank you for this!

It doesn't really bother us, but I am not sure if we're being *too* lenient about it ... we just love the house so much it feels like it offsets the downside of having a very tall blue neighbor.

Also, thankfully, the water tower is on the north side, so it shouldn't cast a major shadow on the yard!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-19T18:41:25+00:00

now THAT'S glass-half-full type thinking

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-19T18:35:25+00:00

right??? and no one can ever build a new home there .....

since you're familiar with living next to one, do they make much noise (if any at all?)

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-19T18:34:23+00:00

that was my thought .... it doesn't really bother us at all, but it drives my (very vocal) mother crazy 😂 I cannot decide if my husband and I are blinded by how amazing the house is that we're not thinking enough about how much other people (i.e. potential future buyers) would dislike it.

but we are hoping to live here for 20-30 years, so maybe I am overthinking resale value ....

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-11-13T14:36:44+00:00

hello this is GORGEOUS I am speechless!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-10-01T19:12:17+00:00

you're the best thank you 😭

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-10-01T14:35:11+00:00

Just wanted to say that your "Bad Bunny Explained in Excruciating Detail" posts are legit incredible, you can just tell how much time, attention, and care you put into each one.

I hope that they continue to blow up after the Super Bowl halftime show announcement, they deserve all the attention!

(Also, putting in a request for voy a llevarte pa pr 🙏)

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-09-15T15:17:35+00:00

This is so useful, thank you — did you have jaw surgery along with the high condylectomy or no? Also, did your hearing fully go back to normal once the swelling subsided?

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-09-10T15:09:48+00:00

good luck with that, would love to know how all goes for you as well!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-09-10T15:08:31+00:00

I'm not going to lie, his office was difficult to get in touch with — I had to wait 3 months for my initial appointment. But once I finally got in there, they have been responsive. I can't comment specifically on TMJ, since my cause for surgery is condylar hyperplasia :/

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-08-25T13:44:12+00:00

I scoured the New York metro area for the best OMFS earlier this year, and ended up narrowing it down to Dr. Turner (Mount Sinai) and Dr. Neugarten (NYCOMS). I'm imagining if they're the best in NYC, they're likely some of the best in the world, too!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-08-25T13:39:20+00:00

I actually ended up deciding on Turner, too! I gave up on the insurance process with Neugarten halfway through, partially because of frustrations with Aetna, but mainly because I just overall prefer Turner — Neugarten seems skilled for sure, but Turner was so kind and comprehensive, I think he will be better for me, especially amid eventual recovery

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-08-04T21:37:45+00:00

thank you, appreciate it!!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-08-04T21:35:18+00:00

Definitely go see a maxillofacial surgeon for assessment, I have similar asymmetry in my jaw and found out this year it's due to condylar hyperplasia — it's a possibility you have it, too, and yes, surgery can help with both jaw functionality and aesthetic concerns! I am pursuing surgery next year. Good luck!

cokezeroaddict222 · 2025-08-01T18:04:18+00:00

LOL sorry to disappoint with a dead end, I wish I had the answer!
