one year later!

Today marks exactly one year since my surgery!

Updates:

I still have some numbness in my gums and my chin on one side.  It's normal to me now.  Not concerned or bothered.

I don't have any residual pain.  No grinding that I can tell.  No joint pain, no headaches.  No infections! :)

My teeth were in really bad shape at my dentist cleaning at about 6 months post-op - lots of build-up and tartar.  The hygienist said it was probably due to the liquid diet coating my teeth and not brushing well because of my sore joints.  Luckily last week at my one year cleaning she said it was an entirely different mouth and I got a clean bill of health.

I can't think of a darn other thing to say!  Except that I have no regrets.  Taken today:


PS. The procedures were BSSO and Lefort I.  Let me know if you have any other questions!
