Do they completely make sure your asleep through out the whole thing because i have to get the same proceedure and iam worried that i will be able to feel everything there doing and also are the nurses and that helpful after the surgery ?

[joejawsurgery]

@201034sarah Yes, you will be totally out for the whole surgery. your face will feel unpleasant when you wake up, but the pain medicine should really help. The nurses were extremely helpful during the recovery. I didn't think I was going to feel weak after waking up the next morning but it was difficult to stand. They pretty much supported me while I when I had to walk around the first day.

@joejawsurgery My experience was totally different. I am 11 days post-op right now. The first three days after the procedure, I prayed for death it was so bad. By the 7th or 8th day, I started feeling pretty darn good. I literally wanted to die the pain was so intense and I was on morphine!

[jonpaul70]

@201034sarah The chance of waking up during surgery is 0.00006%. It rarely if ever happens.

[HeatherMcloughlin]

Wow you were only in Hospital for 2 days!

I have to stay for 5 :(

Im glad your surgery went well! :)

[Becca0714]

how many needles did you have to get throughout the whole procedure

[rnorred86]

I had this surgery five years ago. I remember that moment right after I had it how tired & wasted I felt from all of the anesthesia & it really sucked but it was all worth it in the end. I also remember that weird feeling of my whole face all numb. The left side of my lower lip is still numb & probably will be for the rest of my life, but it doesn't bother me.

mines tommorw! hope all goes well! thanks for the videos!

I see that you are awake at this point after surgery, did you know what was going on around you, or were you still dazed from being knocked out?

[joejawsurgery]

i was surprisingly lucid. i mean, i was obviously not 100% mentally there, but i remember feeling about maybe 80%. so no, i wasn't really dazed at all. I was exhausted though. I remember fighting to stay awake so i could at least say a few words to the camera.

[joejawsurgery]

@metroareatransit In this video there was really no pain; I was so exhausted that I couldn't really feel anything. I only stayed awake for about 8 minutes after my intial waking up, and then I slept until later that night. The hospital gave me my own pain medication dosage button, which I used liberally becuase not only does it dull any pain, but it put me to sleep.

[quigleyyyy]

were you wired shut?

[joejawsurgery]

@quigleyyyy No, not wired shut, but I couldn't open my mouth anyway. Titanium screws and plates hold everything together, so there's no need for wires.

This was me, last year in June. It sucked balls...

[sailorchibimoon1665]
