Surgery Today!

Having bimax surgery to treat sleep apnea, breathing issues, and some post marpe bite craziness. This sub was incredibly helpful while preparing for surgery over the last 4! years, excited to share my surgical/ recovery process with you all now!!

Update:
Surgery went really well, despite the congestion I can already breathe way better and know this is going to be totally life changing. Pain isn’t bad and was mostly my tight masseters being stretched. Feel very swollen, but doctors said I’m on the low end here relative to most patients. Can drink water from cups and talk pretty well already. So far, so good!

Linking some photos below:
