Starting to feel better...pics

Post by josh » Sat Aug 18, 2007 9:42 am

Check out my pre/post surgery pics. Feeling better, sleeping more, still no cpap, and having more energy. As far as food is concerned my favorite so far is mashed potatoes and gravy pureed, through a syringe.

That is certainly a huge difference! I hope all continues to go well for you!
I am glad to hear you have more energy and are sleeping better.

Great. I hope that "fixes" your problem for the rest of this life.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

Looks like they took you from a Class II overbite to a Class I overbite.
