Congrats on the process. I'm having upper surgery in 6 months. Was any of the 35,000 paid by insurance or was that out of pocket cost?

It's been 123 days since surgery! Guess what my braces come off next week! Y'all don't understand how excited I am. I have a check up this following Wednesday with my oral surgeon.. hopefully just a quick in and out visit. So are y'all ready to see my progress after my braces?? I am!

So, I've been slacking. There's been a lot going on okay. Most days I forget I even had surgery now; well that is until someone reminds me of how much my face has changed. Awesome news... I get my braces off the Monday before my wedding (if all looks great next appointment). I still often swell just a tad like not even noticeably swollen but to me I can tell because I mean we know our bodies best. To those prepping for this surgery.... it will all be okay and in fact it will be over with soon it goes fast.
