Im facing a similar surgery this month too, not sure if mine is the bottom or also the top and how much. Soon I will know more details. Do you know how long of a rehabilitation yor docs are expecting? What is going to be used to reconstruct your jaw, bone or metal?
Sorry for the questions, just trying to compare our procedures.
Best of luck with everything going on. Hope your recovery is an easy one.
