I had a Le Fort 1 surgery. My upper teeth are finally in front of my lower teeth! Also, I had minimal (and I do mean minimal) swelling and no bruising at all. Keep those ice packs on!
I got the really nice hospital bed but my mom had to sleep in a chair beside me. I was told previously that the hospital staff would bring her a cot to sleep on but they didn't.
I was given plenty of pain medication. I felt no pain at all and considering I had surgery on my face, that's really an accomplishment. I was back to work after 10 days and I could have been back after a week but I was enjoying my convelescence.
If I have anything negative to say it would be about the cost. Dr. Maring was not in my preferred provider so I knew it would be more than if I'd went somewhere else. The worst part was not knowing how much I was going to owe once it was all said and done. I am almost 2 months post op now and I am still getting random bills like the one from the anesthesiologist, or the one from the hospital pharmacy (seperate from the hospital bill).
Overall I am happy with the oral surgery but not as happy with the wallet surgery. But I can always earn more money, I can't get another jaw.
out of 5 stars
