Please let us know how your surgery went! I&#39;m sure u feel awful now but just remember that healing for this surgery is much easier than the first time around. If your surgeon/ortho think you&#39;ll be ready then I would trust them. You&#39;re still going to be numb anyway so this actually be a great time to have ur braces removed :) if you can open your jaw far enough to have them work comfortably in there and your teeth are in perfect position; then I say yes! Go for it. Get those bad boys off on the 31st! SO jealous!! </p> http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/topic/going-to-music-festivals#post-20081 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:15:05 +0000 RachelM 20081@http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/ <p>two months post op I was doing everything I normally would apart from eating steak so you&#39;ll be fine </p> http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/topic/going-to-music-festivals#post-20074 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:28:42 +0000 Sarahxgx 20074@http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/ <p>Okay, im hopefully getting my surgery in june/july.<br /> I really want to go to the Electric Picnic music festival in September.<br /> Would I be able for it? it would be roughly 2 months after double jaw surgery to fix an underbite :( </p> http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/topic/screw-removal/page/2#post-19977 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:53:04 +0000 bluesqueen 19977@http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/ <p>gee that must be painfull<br /> i got mine screw removed it&#39;s like minor jaw surgery<br /> it would be painfull in three day and you may swell up orther then that you will fell a lot better </p> http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/topic/screw-removal#post-19972 Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:57:50 +0000 zoeaveryhanson 19972@http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/ <p>Thanks so much!!

I was wondering if anyone has had something similar done. My doctor gave me few details of the recovery time frame and little information of what a chin reduction would involve. I&#39;m having this done on Jan 19. If you could share any information about the recovery process or anything else i&#39;d really appreciate it! </p> http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/topic/working-on-a-speedy-recovery-from-my-le-forte-1-osteotamy-upper-jaw-surgery#post-19786 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:23:47 +0000 dreamn614 19786@http://www.jawsurgeryblog.com/forums/ <p>Haha, I wish I could say the same. Ugh. I&#39;ll be 4 weeks post-op on Monday and it feels like it&#39;s been 4 years. Goodness, hopefully things will change soon. </p>
