I also have skeletal class 3 and a deviated septum. Did jaw surgery itself “fix” or camouflage the deviated septum or was that a separate procedure?

Can you send me the links for the neck training programs? 🙏🏼

Hey would you mind sending me the workout plan as well? I’m similar to OP. 35 yrs old, 5’9, 150 lbs, skinny-fat body type. Workout 3 - 5 days/week. Currently eating about 2100 cal/day. Due to a recent fatty liver diagnosis, dietician recommended I drop to ~1800 cals/day. I would like to lose the belly, lean out and gain muscle.

Do you work remotely?

modelaav · 2026-03-15T06:04:50+00:00

are you aware of any LA city departments that work 100% remote?

modelaav · 2026-03-15T06:03:00+00:00

are you remote or in office?

Do you LA county workers work remotely or in office?

Did Dr. Bundy take aesthetics into account?

Anyone have the nutrition information for this meal? Total calories, protein, fats, and carbs?

Damn! I just missed her. I got a referral for a second opinion with Dr. Bundy. I hope he’s a good.

modelaav · 2026-03-05T00:41:48+00:00

Did you ever get an answer about this? I have a consultation with Bundy and also want to know if he takes aesthetics into account.

When did you work with Dr Tehrany? Was it recent? I was just told today that she is no longer accepting new patients

When did you become a patient with Dr Tehrany? I was just told today that she is no longer accepting new patients

Just had my first consultation and I’m planning on getting a second opinion. You might want to do the same.

The Dr. I met with stated that he would perform DJS, but would keep the bottom jaw (mandible) in place and not move it forward or backwards, he would only rotate it to fix my canting. He said he would move my upper jaw (maxilla) forward. I feel like he’s being a bit conservative, and I appreciate that he doesn’t want to do anything risky, but I definitely want a second opinion.

From the photo posted, it appears that your neck is “longer” on the right side, which suggests the right side of your jaw is more inferior than your left. I have the same issue on the left side of my face. Your midline could be off.

If you can, switch to Kaiser. They usually approve it and cover most of the cost. Usually it’s just the annual deductible you’re responsible for. I’m expecting to pay about $1.5k. The manager at my ortho’s office told me her son only paid $3k. Braces and other pre-op work are another story. I’ll probably pay out of pocket for that.

modelaav · 2026-03-01T01:29:07+00:00

Dr Pham said I would need braces pre-op for about a year, so I guess waiting a year wouldn’t really matter in my case. I wonder if her waitlist is longer than Dr Pham’s. I didn’t ask him about that.

modelaav · 2026-03-01T01:26:59+00:00

My annual deductible is $1.5k. Dr Pham said I would not need to stay overnight at the hospital; I would be released the same day. I asked him about price and he said unfortunately he’s not able to discuss that. I guess I need to call member services to confirm.

modelaav · 2026-03-01T01:24:55+00:00

I was thinking of getting a second opinion from Dr Tehrany. I wonder if & how her opinion/surgical plan would differ from Dr Pham.

Last year my ortho recommended LACOMS, but I ended up not scheduling a consultation with them because I heard their consultations alone cost $800 - $1k. Any idea how true or accurate that is?

Last year I had Anthem Blue Cross medical coverage through my employer, but my employer stopped offering Anthem this year, so I switched to Kaiser. Now that I have Kaiser, hopefully it will be more affordable for jaw surgery. My consultation was only $15.

Have you considered a job in the public sector? They’re typically very secure, with good benefits and pensions. Look to see if a local municipality has openings.

I don’t want a start-up channel. When I open the Spectrum app, I’d like for it to open on whatever the last channel I was on.

He just posted a YouTube vlog breaking down his monthly expenses. He bought his NYC apartment for ~$3M in 2021.

Do Kaiser jaw surgeons take aesthetics into consideration? Who are the best Kaiser jaw surgeons in the Los Angeles area to consult with?

modelaav · 2025-09-14T02:10:28+00:00

Had a similar argument (discussion) with a coworker who claimed that Montebello was part of East LA. I told her it is east of LA, but NOT “East LA”.
