Please pray for me...

I am having upper jaw surgery this Tuesday (the 28th). I'm really nervous about it. I'm going to be on a liquid diet for several weeks. I had the first surgery back in April '08 where they expanded my upper jaw and I had to wear a palate expander for 7 months. I also had to get braces, which I'll have to wear for a couple of more months.

I keep telling myself I'll get through this and I'll have a much better bite and hopefully a better appearance after this is all over. It's still going to be tough. I should have had this done as a teen, but the orthodontist I went to back then totally misdiagnosed my problem. The braces I wore for 4 years did absolutely nothing because it was my jaw that was crooked.

[ponytail]

I pray all goes well and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

[dawsongirl]

You'll make it through with flying colors!

I'd say one positive would be that you lost weight, but I don't think you need to. Hopefully you at least get pampered.

[Chocoholic]

I've been looking up recipes on nutritious smoothies, soups, and stuff and found some delicious-looking ones. At least chocolate comes in liquid form :D

Has anyone else gone through this or know someone who has? Please keep sending those positive thoughts my way.

[TheGreatPretender]

Best of wishes! May God be with you! :hug:

[Chocoholic]

I'm going in tomorrow. I trust that I am in good hands, both the doctor's and God's, but it's still scary. Please keep those positive thoughts coming!

:lol: Now that's the right attitude. ;)

You are still in my thoughts and prayers. I hope everything goes well with the surgery and that your recovery time is short. Take all the time you need to heal and get better! :bighug:

[Schmoopie]

I wish you a very speedy recovery and I hope there is very little pain after the surgery (which I hope goes well).

As I write this, I see that today is Tuesday the 28th. I'll be thinking about you today.

So will I.

[Pus$y Galore]

Same here Kristen. Here I was feeling a bit sorry for myself having to have yet another tooth pulled yesterday, but you're going through so much more. I hope it's all worth the end result and your bite will be perfect!

At least it's a great excuse to live on chocolate milkshakes for the next few weeks! ;)

Keep all good thoughts!

[catlover79]

So will I.
Me three!! :bighug:

[80sTrivia]

Sending you well-wishes and positive thoughts as you recover from you surgery!!! :)

[Chocoholic]

Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes! :bighug: The surgery went very well and I'm home now resting comfortably. I don't have as much pain as I expected, but that may change.

[Marvo301]

It's great to hear that your surgery went very well and that your pain is less than expected. I hope and pray your recovery will continue in the same way!

[Retro4Life]

Is that TMJ Syndrome? I have that too, but have never progressed to the point where I needed the surgery.

I'm glad you are doing well, and best of luck in your recovery! :)

[catlover79]

That's great news, Kristen!! We're praying for a full and speedy delivery. Get lots of rest and pamper yourself. :bighug:

[InspectorExstead]

That's awesome! I hope the rest of your recovery goes as well as the beginning-with no pain!! You'll still be in my thoughts & prayers for a super super speedy recovery. Now...I think you've got some work to do-load up on those chocolate milkshakes! ;)

That's great! I'm glad to hear that. :)

[LuLu Rogers]

I'm still praying for you sweetie, glad to hear you're doing well :bighug:

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

Kristen, I am happy that everything went well; will continue to keep you in both of my thoughts and my prayers.:)

[browneyes106]

I'm glad that you are home. How long did you stay in the hospital? My friend who recently had jaw surgery had to spend a day and a half in the hospital.

[Chocoholic]

I went in Tuesday morning and came home Wednesday afternoon. I don't have TMJ. I had a severe open overbite that couldn't be fixed by braces alone.

[Shine]

Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes! :bighug: The surgery went very well and I'm home now resting comfortably. I don't have as much pain as I expected, but that may change.


I'm happy to hear it, Kristen. :)

[Chocoholic]

Feeling so congested. Ugh!
