I watched a video from sicnor553 and was inspired to make this video to record my progress. 1 month from today I will be having the surgery.

Cost, Cost, Cost! - is what I would like to know. I'm a full time student, and my part-time job employer's insurance company, does not and will not cover any of the costs. Any ideas on how to be able to afford such a procedure. My under-bite is slight, but I do have a long face, and a "Jay Leno" protruding chin. I'm assuming I will have to wait until I'm financially stable, but would really like it sooner - whenever that will be...thanx for the video.

@Alejandromichael84 I wanted it done while I was in college like you but I knew that was not going to happen so I waited till I had a full time job after college. Unfortunately insurance still did not pay for any of it so I had to pay for the whole thin myself. My only advice is save up for it.

i might need surgery like a 25% chance was it painful afterwards?

[fatbrowne]

@DrunkPotatoe it was not painful afterwards

[TheOZBehindCurtain]

What about jaw strength post op? Is your jaw bone as strong and solid as it was before or would it be easier to fracture or break?

[fatbrowne]

@TheOZBehindCurtain just as strong as it was before. I bite into apple and chew up hard foods no problems

[bestdrummerever1234]

@fatbrowne good i need that surgery too

[Bankaizensama]

i wish i had a surgery now, underbite let me lost my confidence when interacting with other people :(

[fatbrowne]

@nejirox51693 they knocked me out. There was very little pain afterwards. I was able to eat normally after about 1 month

[nejirox51693]

i have to get the surgery in a few months...

1. did it hurt? or did they knock you out?

2. how was the pain afterwards?

3. were you able to eat normally? like no pain when eating?
