My allergies were really bad going into this surgery(and still are, it's improved slightly), and it did add some discomfort to the surgery, because as you know, upper jaw surgery does go into the sinuses more than lower jaw surgery. Breathing was definitely the most difficult part of the surgery but I made it through. My oral surgeon prescribed me benadryl while I was in the hospital, it was just important that it was taken. <br /><br />In summary, my belief would be to get the surgery done in may because it makes the school year that much easier. I definitely needed the time off, and summer was perfect, regardless of the discomforts.<br /><br />Best of luck!Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131578880191843836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488625704560663102.post-68162840075423314972011-09-24T16:42:06.692-04:002011-09-24T16:42:06.692-04:00Hi Gordon,
Thank you for documenting your journey ...Hi Gordon,<br />Thank you for documenting your journey on this blog! I'm also a student from Toronto and am planning on getting upper jaw surgery. My biggest problem is the timing. I am hoping to get the surgery done in May when school is done (I don't have braces on yet but my teeth are not too far from straight and will probably get them within a month from now). However, I get really bad allergies during April-May. Do you think it would be a bad time to get this type of surgery because I usually have to blow my nose several times a day? I really want to have it done before September 2012 because I will be back at school and want all of the recovery to be over by then. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated :)<br />Thanks again for your blog,<br />WandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
