My name is Melissa Denslow and this is a blog about my lower jaw surgery! I have been undergoing work on my teeth for about 10 years now so this is documenting my experience.

Surgery Date!
Hi, Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Not a lot has happened until recently!
I now have my surgery date - 6th June 2016! So just under 2 months away.
I have several appointment before hand to get me ready for the surgery, i have 1 tomorrow which will consist of moulds and photographs being taken. Then i have another appointment on Thursday for a CT Scan - apparently this is so they can create a digital version of my surgery so they can see what the finished product will be.
My last appointment before my surgery is 2 weeks before hand, this is to see my surgeon and he is going to make sure a plate fits in my mouth (its called a surgical plate which helps him line up my teeth in surgery). Then after that it will be my surgery!!
I am beyond nervous and scared, which i think is normal given the situation. My surgeon said that the surgery will take about 2 -2 and a half hours to complete and they will be just working on my lower jaw and chin. He said i will be in hospital for a maximum of 2 days and i will need about 6 weeks off work. He also said he doesn't think he will need to wire my jaw shut which is a bonus!
So i wont be posting anything else until probably the day of my surgery! Wish me luck! :/
