3 months post op





Well it's really 3 months and 2 days post op. Felling pretty darn good these days. I can eat pretty much whatever I want now. Most of the swelling is down. I still have some around my nose which makes my nose look a little crooked when I smile. I have almost all the feeling back in my lips both upper and lower. The lower left is still not normal sensations but I have feeling and everyday its better and better. I will be getting my braces off in about 6-8 weeks....so so so happy about that. I don't have to see my surgeon now until September unless there is a a problem but I don't foresee anything going wrong at this point. I have pretty good range of motion at 39 mm. I am currently losing A LOT of hair. Apparently fairly common after undergoing major surgery and then extreme weight loss. Frightening to see so much hair in the shower drain when you don't have a ton to spare in the first place. I just wish it would stop already. Just when I think it is tapering off I have a day where I lose a bunch. I suppose it has to stop at some point. I am taking some supplements to hopefully slow it down until my body decides it has shed enough. Other than my current hair loss I have no complaints. I am very happy with my bite and how good my teeth look. I can honestly say it was worth it. Amen!
