    Hey all, so nervous, the day is finally looming.
    have braces in now since july 2009, doc says if all goes well will have braces off 3 months after surgery which is great as gettin married in 6.
    Its been a long journey......but glad i am finally gettin by op.

    Good luck!, don't worry everyones differant but for most its not painfull its just the swelling that makes it uncomfatable although you may be a lucky one with very minimal swelling!. Good luck!

    Hey all, had my surgery yesterday, back home and all today nice and cosy with blankets and pillows and getting spoilt rotten, but anyone who is gettin this surgery dont under estimate how major thsi surgery is.

    I got my surgery 9 o clock in the mring and i had to be watched for 24 hourse aftre as a kept throwing up blood, so much pain and fainted twice, oh and before the surgery when the anethitest was gettin me ready i fainted then to, my body just couldnt take the stress and nerves of it all. While i wa sin surgery my heart went into overdrive, i know have to go get my heart tested cuz its now coomon to faint like that and also its not coming for a 25 year old hearts to go into overdrive like that. not trying to scare you but just letting u know about my experince.

    Im now at home with a face the size of a ballon, sore and finding it hard to breathe with these elastics as my nose hasnt stopped blleding whcih is common so its all blocked up. feeling sorry for myself, but gonna try push through it i know forst few days will be the worst. just trying to thin of the positives in it all.

    when im feelin bit better ill update with pics of before and aftre and keep ye's updated with my progress. xox
