    Hey, Brandon! I just want to say that I got my two back wisdom teeth pulled out today. I neevr had any top ones, so woo-hoo! But, anyways; this was the first step toward my Jaw surgery. I, like yourself, have to get my top jaw pushed up and bottom jaw pushed back. I have been reading horror stories of this surgery and I was really freaked. But by finding your site, I feel so much better. I just need braces again and then, surgery! Hopefully it’ll be next summer; I’ll be seventeen.

    I pray it all goes well. I just cannot wait for all of this to be done with.
    =)
    Im glad it worked wonderfully for you! Now, let’s hope it works for me!

    I have two questions, though! :

    1) Do you notice the new jaw placement during recovering? Is it weird or is it manageable?

    2) Is there a LOT of blood? Blood vomit? Etc.

    Thanks a ton, dude!

    Congrats on getting the wisdom teeth out of the way, Angel!

    I’m glad this blog can offer some reassurance, that was definitely my number one goal with this, and I hope to build that even more, as more and more people begin to share their own experiences in the forums.

    1. I didn’t notice it much at first, since I was wired shut for 5 weeks. But once I finally was able to eat solid food again (about 2 months), I noticed a HUGE difference in how much easier it was to eat and chew when your teeth actually fit together!

    2. There is definitely a lot of blood during surgery, but you’re obviously not awake to see or notice that. Some people I’ve heard can have the blood vomit thing you mentioned in rare cases, but I never had a problem with it at all.

    I'm Brandon, the creator of JawSurgeryBlog.com. I personally had upper and lower jaw surgery on October 30, 2007. Thankfully, everything went beautifully, so I'm trying to make sure everyone else's surgery goes smoothly as well!

    Sorry I dissapeared. =P
    But all is good here.
    Thanks for the question replies!

    I got my upper jaw expander retainer like thing earlier this week, so hopefully that does its job so I wont have to get surgery for expanding the upper jaw! Gah, no! But anyways, we're still planning surgery next summer or the summer after! :)

    Thanks for checking in, Angel, and congrats on getting the expander in. I hope that takes care of that part like you said.

    Best of luck with everything. Keep us updated, and if you have any other questions along the way leading up to the surgery, just ask.
