- I am now at 6 months post-op from my double jaw surgery, and I feel like I've come a long way (but still have a long way to go)! At this milestone, I wanted to look back at whole recovery process thus far: what my experience has been like, what I wish I had known, and would I do it again?? The journey continues!

I’m day 11 from lower jaw surgery(my 5th surgery on my jaw/teeth, I have 5 dental implants) :( I can’t wait to lay down to sleep ughhhhh i wish I felt more positive cuz at the moment I actually hate my face and just don’t really want to exist in this face or look at myself ever but maybe it will get better.. also hoping so much that my lip and chin feeling comes back because the tingly/electric feeling is hurting so bad😩jaw surgery is lowkey torture, thanks for sharing so we are not so alone..
Ugh, I'm sorry you're still in that tough spot of recovery :( The weird sensations and not being able to sleep make everything else SO much harder, but this phase will not last forever! You'll get through it day by day.
And I can certainly relate to not liking your face at that stage, but I swear that also will get better. I had to keep reminding myself that how I feel *right now* is not how I will feel *forever.* It takes time, but step by step things will shift.
Thank you for sharing as well, I hope you continue to recover quickly, and please keep us posted on how things are going!
Great to see how things have changed for the last 6 months and the benefits you have noticed. Patience is probably one of the hardest parts!
Thanks Rebecca! I can usually be quite patient when I know I will be rewarded in the long run, but this is definitely testing me haha!
🎉😂😂😂😂😂
You look great!
Thank you so much! ☺
Thankyou so much❤️🙏🏻
You are welcome! Thank you for watching 🙂
Hello, I am very happy with this video, and after a while I have to have the operation, but I am very afraid about what comes after the operation in terms of pain, dizziness, the result, what my mental health will be like, And what I would like for me to do after the operation. I would like to know your advice to me on what I should do in order not to worry about this degree. Thank you, sweetie🙏💕💕💕💕
Hello! Thank you for the kind words, and I can definitely understand being worried about your upcoming surgery and recovery - it's a lot to think about!
I have several other videos all about what the experience was like for me, including the first two weeks of recovery, how long it takes to see results, the mental/emotional challenges etc...I will link a few of them below, but you can also look through the jaw surgery videos on my channel and see which ones might be helpful or answer some of your questions :)

Ah its haard i am on day 7. And i cant sleep and very hard. I hope i can made it.
You'll get through it! One day at a time, that first week really is the worst - and yes, sleep is super difficult...which just makes everything feel harder 😞
I think it was around the 2 week mark where I was allowed to lie down to sleep, and it makes a huge difference so you're almost there!
Hang in there and keep us posted on how you're doing!
@@meganschallDay 19 I no longer feel pain, 90 percent of the swelling has gone, my teeth look much better, and I can sleep up to 8 hours like normal. I also started eating and trying to chew, but with great difficulty. The best thing is that I can eat noodles 😂🌹.
I'm just worried about the swelling because it's not all gone yet. But now. I am. Better. Thank you❤️🤝🏻
@@ahmedtarek2839 that's great, congratulations! I'm glad to hear things are improving and you're continuing to recover well 🙂The swelling will certainly take a while to completely go away, but it will happen with time!
It’s day 1 for me, thank goodness my nose isn’t clogged or congested… it’s so vital for sleep
oh yeah, that makes a huge difference! I sounded stuffed up for months lol
@@meganschall I’m on day 6 right now and the congestion is gradually going away , I think my airway is de-swelling. But it is still not good, especially on my right side I can feel so much pressure in there like in my entire cheek even near my eye. I guess that’s to be expected but it’s so stressful:(
@@skyllarkuppinger6751 Congrats on getting through the first week! I can totally understand the discomfort and pressure you are feeling, and it is stressful! Those first two weeks are the toughest, and it will get better. Keep going one day at a time :)
@@meganschall thank you this is so nice to hear from someone who understands it ❤️❤️❤️ it’s day 8 now and it’s improving every day.
Megan, how long did your drainage last? I am on day 4, saliva drownes me and I couldn't sleep since the surgery. :( Salivation is the worst.
Ugh, I hear you! The drainage part was definitely super uncomfortable - for me it probably lasted for about 7 days or so? Maybe 10?
But I clearly remember it being the worst on day 6 and then getting better from there, so it will improve! (Also, I might talk more about this in my video covering the first 14 days of recovery if you haven't watched that on yet...)
Congrats on getting through your surgery and I hope all goes well as you continue to recover :)
I’m starting my third phase (3 months - ). You are looking great! Do you still have numbness on some areas?
Thank you so much! Congratulations on your surgery and making it through those first few months :) I do have a little bit of numbness in my upper palate, and my chin/lower lip have feeling but it's not totally "normal" if that makes sense...I think the numbness and nerve regeneration is really different from person to person, and probably depends a lot on how much your jaw is moved during surgery? Hope things are going well for you!
@@meganschall You have no idea how relief I feel reading your comment. I have numbness in the same areas, and my chin/lower lip also have a tingling feel even though I can “feel” it haha. We can make this through!! Good luck. I’ll be waiting for your next video 😍
@@MC.UC0095 We will get through this! One day at a time :)
sério, pq isso aparece toda hr p mim? como faz para bloquear
I'm sorry, I don't know! I think you should be able to remove it from your suggested videos though?
I am in day 8 and it definitely sucks a$&
Oh man I feel your pain! If I remember correctly, day 6 or 7 was probably the worst for me so I can totally understand what you're going through right now. You're almost through the worst of it though, and it will get easier! One day (or sometimes one hour) at a time, hang in there 🙏
Thank you for replying !!! You are right about it subsiding , I’m excited to eat steak and hamburgers and such but like you said one day at a time definitely an investment 😌
Did it help with your chronic fatigue and brain fog?
I did not notice any difference in fatigue or brain fog after surgery, but I have noticed an improvement in sleep which I know will help in the long run!
That's great to hear you are getting more restful sleep. I hope you continue to notice an upswing in energy as your body continues to restore itself. Thanks for sharing this journey! It's really scary to consider, just starting out.
@@classicsfan10 Thank you so much! I wish you well on your own journey - it is a lot to consider, and can certainly feel overwhelming and scary at times. Just take it one tiny step at a time and you'll get through it! We are all here to support you if you need any help along the way :)
Thank you for this video! Did you do your surgery at maxillofacial in barcelona? Just had my bimax surgery done there 10 days ago 😊
Yes I did have my surgery there! Congrats on your surgery as well - how did it go??
@@meganschall Nice! According to Federico everything went very well! Feeling swollen (esp in the cheeks and upper lip), but trying to stay optimistic and trust the process. Is everything good after your surgery? Watched your last video, is your bite better now?
@Maxx that's great your surgery went well! And agreed, it can be a little challening at times to trust the process and wait out the swelling/numbness etc., but I am also optimistic that everything will work out in the end 🙂
my bite is still a bit off, I need to check back with my ortho soon to make a plan for what's next...there's always a next step lol
