Today is my 5 month anniversary after my Dec 1 double jaw surgery. For the most part, I feel fine although 20% of my upper left lip is still numb. I notice the numbness maybe about 2-3 times a day. Otherwise, it doesn't bother me much. I sure hope it won't be permanent! I wondering if it is will just go away out of the blue.
Eating-wise -- I can eat most things now, including burgers and even peanuts (with my back teeth, of course!) I'm still very cautious of biting hard with my front teeth. My bite is not perfected yet, so I don't want to risk mis-aligning my jaw. By the way, my midline shifted again...since I'm off rubberbands.
