Today is the 4th day post my MMA Ops. The bandages around my jaws and chin have been taken off. My lower face looks like it been stretched out and it feel tight and swollen.

So far the only issue i have is to try to syinge in my pain Killer and anti-botics medicine - the powerd liquid tasted terrible and it is hard trying to drink it down. Beside this issue, today I can start to slip water better so drinking my food is now a bit quicker.

I understand from reading all the posting that the swelling will probably be around for another week or so, and I will only can really tell if this Ops have cured my sleep apnea problem. I still trying to think positively and all these short term suffering will be worth it.

Will be another 2 days to go before I next visit my surgeon to see if the bands can be removed. Until then, I have to try to sleep in a sitting position and also use the CPAP to get some rest.

Will continue to post my recovery jounery here. All comments and feedback are welcome.
