DAY 5 - More swollen?

I think I'm more swollen today than I was yesterday, and my neck is all yellow. It also looks like I'm stuffing tennis balls in my cheeks!!

Today all I could think about was a McDonald's cheeseburger. Wah!

I slept most of the day, and then my mom came over and made me "dinner." A shower felt great today, too. I hope this balloon face doesn't last too much longer.

Day 5 was my worst day... and day 6 I got MUCH better. Hopefully it'll be the same for you!

The worst is almost over! Hurray!

Hi! I read your blog awhile back ago and it's great to see that you were able to get your surgery done! I am about to embark on getting my own insurance and I was recommended to have this surgery way back in high school, but never went through with it. I'm having loads of teeth problems that my dentist says stems from my bite so I am looking into the surgery again.

Basically, I was wondering what insurance company you recommend!

Swelling looks no fun :(

Hey Krista! Orginally I had submitted my jaw surgery claim to Cigna, who promptly denied it.

My work switched over to Kaiser, and my surgery was approved. I've read that Kaiser has a way better approval rate for this type of surgery. I'm lucky!
