This is a great video! I am booked for my surgery in April and I am super excited (Been on this waitlist for 5 year!) but I am also super anxious as well. I previously had an upper pallet surgery which was hard, but the DJS seems like it'll be more painful :0
Thanks so much for posting this! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Hi! I actually remember everything until I fell asleep. Then, I woke up after the surgery. They put me on the table where the surgeon and his team were going to do everything. They asked me if I was ok and then they put this breathing mask. I don't remember anything else 😅. Since this is such a complicated surgery, I doubt they don't put you on the strongest anesthesia. The least they they'd want is for you to wake up during it. If you have any questions about the anesthesia, I recommend you ask your surgeon and the hospital. Every question is valid! Hope this helps :)
I'm looking for proverbs 31 woman and found your video. I went to your other videos and saw this. I'm praying to God if He will allow me to be an oral maxillofacial surgeon practicing mainly on orthognathic surgery or jaw surgery. I do not have the resources to train so here's to me weirdly finding this video and hoping God will help me do this if He wants to. Thanks for the info you shared here, it gives me insights what patients undergo post operative
@@NatalieJulianne right now I am 2 days post op. I am going through so much. My face is swollen up like a balloon and it hurts my face so much so eat/drink anything! I’m trying my best to keep a positive attitude 😁.
@@NatalieJulianne i feel like I got so unlucky with my swelling as my face has swelled up much more than any UA-cam video but for the last 2 days it’s been starting to go down!
I too have a severe TMJ issue and my surgeon told me that I need a TJR surgery which is total jaw joint replacement surgery for both the sides of my jaw joints.
I had my double jaw surgery 4 days ago and honestly have it quite rough now... Im hungry but at the same time nausious, all. The. Time. The swelling just makes everything feel uncomfortable, i hope the nausia and swelling will go down soon😢
Definitely, brave i may need this as a 27 year old guy. Im getting an expander before than braces for a year and than jaw surgery so in 3 years i would be doing surgery if all goes as planned
hey i’m almost one month post op for double jaw surgery. did you experience skin breaking out? i had pretty clear skin before surgery but now i’m experiencing acne in places i never get it. i got the occasional spot from my cycle on my forehead but never on my cheeks or my mouth/chin. if anyone else sees this comment who has had the surgery please let me know your experience/ what to do.i’m worried it’s metal sensitivity.
I didn’t have the experience where I couldn’t swallow but I woke up and my throat hurt like someone had been choking me. lol. I had bruising on my neck and chest afterwards too
I'm actually having my double jaw surgery consultation on March 20th. I was born with a severe overbite like the 2nd line on my thumb was where my front teeth went when my mouth was *CLOSED* So when I got braces, I think 3 years ago now? I'd have to ask my mom, but they had said they wouldn't give me braces unless I did the surgery and that if I got braces there would be no backing out of surgery. And they havent said anything to me about how it'll go, so I'm guessing I'll figure it out on the 20th but I don't know how much they'll say, what they'll hide from me etc. But I'm turning 16 on March 17th and I heard that with my age is the best time for this surgery so I'm hoping everything goes smoothly for me but I'm also having an eye surgery consultation on the 16th of March. So 2 back to back surgeries, and on top of that I don't eat much food and I only eat solid foods so Im going to have quite the journey. But I hope your recovery is going well! But If you have any tips I would greatly appreciate it. I struggle with a lot of mental illnesses and I'm worried it'll cause me to decline with the surgery but yeah, any tips will be greatly appreciated
How did you do to keep your mouth clean after the surgery? It is so difficult for me now and im afraid of infection. I tried my best to brush with baby toothbrush and injected water using syringe but I still feel it not clean enough. Thank you!!
One does lose weight but you will gain it back! Get lots of protein in your diet even if it’s liquid form. Things like grass-fed protein powder, raw egg yolks, Greek yogurt, etc
Thank you, I watched many videos about this subject, actually yours seem to be the more realistic.. maybe you had complicates.Any way thank you for sharing your experience
Did you have your surgery done in a hospital? If so, what probably happened was residents at the hospital were most likely practicing putting a breathing tube down your throat. Which is probably why you had a sore throat and vomited everywhere. Got to find a jaw surgeon that has a operating room nearby, not in a hospital.
Thank you. Would like to ask about the sealed mouth, was it hard to breathe? And how long were you by pain meds? Was it painful during recovery? Much Appreciate your experience sharing, as I’m considering for the double jaw lately after meeting my surgeon…
Thank you for watching! My mouth was never sealed. I would wear rubber bands to hold my bite in place. I would breathe from my mouth for the first 3 days because my nose was full of phlegm. I didn't take pain medications but normally they are used for about 2 weeks.
girlll you got it lucky though. ive had 5 tmj surgeries and it sucks ALOT more. Im getting my replacement december 8th and im not happy about it to do this a 6th time. thats if it corrects my right side but your not going to be able to eat at all its all liquids and its not fun.
@@NatalieJulianne i had a lower jaw surgery 3 months ago, i had numbness on one side of my lips, now its tickling, I think it's recovering. I will make sure to watch your new video✌️
@@mamtachettri1459 maybe 2 months after you can go back? For me I had surgery in June and had to go back to school in august. It was possible but I needed that 1 1/2 months to get sleep and recover a bit

I had bruising all over my neck and chest too. The surgery acts like a "traumatic" event to your body. It will disappear soon.
Te deseo pronta recuperación y te ves aún mas hermosa como siempre ❤
¡Gracias! Un abrazo siempre, Chelsea ❤
What about plates and screws in the jaw? Do they stay in place for life?
What about the metal plates and screws they put in your jaw? Are they permanent or did you remove them?
Thank you for sharing! I’m getting mine in five days and I’m so excited (also nervous!) 😂❤
Praying it all goes well!! Let me know any questions you might have. Either through where or DM on Instagram.

I did my surgery yesteeday
Glad you made through it , i also have the same promblem and i will do my surgery this march
How did it go?
Do the mounting screws and strips last?
How did you do to keep your mouth clean after the surgery? It is so difficult for me now and im afraid of infection. I tried my best to brush with baby toothbrush and injected water using syringe but I still feel it not clean enough. Thank you!!
Flushing water every time I ate and occasionally brushing with coconut oil and baking soda if my lips were able to open. You'll be okay :)
Could you please tell the doctor& hospital name and where it is … it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance❤
What about "titanium screw "does it effect ?? because in next two months i am undergoing through this surgery
Wow! Gracias a Dios todo salio bien 🤗
¡Sí! Solo le puedo dar gracias a Él.
Almost feel like I need to weigh 40lb more than my weight now because that's how I'll survive lol
One does lose weight but you will gain it back! Get lots of protein in your diet even if it’s liquid form. Things like grass-fed protein powder, raw egg yolks, Greek yogurt, etc
how did you get your jaw to open?
I wonder how you’re going to look in 6 month or in a year⭐️⭐️⭐️
veremos a ver. we'lll see 🥳
Thank you, I watched many videos about this subject, actually yours seem to be the more realistic.. maybe you had complicates.Any way thank you for sharing your experience
You're welcome! I'm here to help. Let me know if you have any questions 🌟
how you would avoid nauseas and vomiting? not drinking water right away after the surgery?
not drinking liquids so fast (like I did) after surgery. instead, swallow slowly and carefully
where is the clinic
?
Thank you for sharing.
How many months after the surgery should braces on teeth be worn?
It will depend on your orthodontist. I got my braces taken off 1 year and 5 months later.
You look great, who was your surgeon
Mu surgery is on Tuesday it is not life threatening surgery right
not at all!

Which is probably why you had a sore throat and vomited everywhere. Got to find a jaw surgeon that has a operating room nearby, not in a hospital.
Cost?
It will depend on your country but here in Puerto Rico it was about $8,000 USD
Same problem 😔

did u get your palate expander before braces or with braces
With braces :)

so sorry to hear that!
What is the recovery period where you’re able to remove rubber bands or wires ?
I removed the rubber bands about 2 months post-op.
I have same problem like u . But I am scared to do surgery
You will be alright! It is scary at first but you will be okay.
Bro, what are some trusted jaw surgeons in India?....I have an underbite too, but its hard to find a good surgeon
Where u from.

@@skkkkriptx search for maxillofacial surgeon in ur city.
Double surgery cost?
It will depend on your country but here in Puerto Rico it was about $8,000 USD
After the surgery, did they shut your mouth with wires for few days?
No, they didn’t. I had rubber bands that were put diagonally to support my jaw
What is the cost
About 10k
So my question is that in jaw surgery use titanium screw is disolve or not
They are still there
Do you still have numbness anywhere?
My chin is still numb but it has gotten better. Make sure to watch my newest video 1 year and 5 months post-op!
@@NatalieJulianne i had a lower jaw surgery 3 months ago, i had numbness on one side of my lips, now its tickling, I think it's recovering. I will make sure to watch your new video✌️
Wait, why did they go backwards/shorten your jaw... they were supposed to lengthen your upper jaw... your upper jaw wasn't fully developed
They expanded my upper jaw which you can’t really move around.
How long it will take to recover complete ly
It really depends on the person. In my case it took me about 6 months to actually feel alright and about 1 year to get stronger
Full recovery is about 2-5 years I think
