orthnognathic surgery

Has anyone had, or considered having, orthognathic surgery? (e.g. to correct an underbite, overbite, etc...) Everytime I see the dentist I revisit this possibility. I wouldn't consider my situation painful, but would say it's uncomfortable on a routine basis. I'm wondering if any CFer's (or anyone else for that matter) have done it and lived to blog about it. I'm having a hard to gauging if it's worth the risks. If all goes well it would create a comfortable bite with a subtle improvement in appearance. If it went badly, my standard of living could drop like the DOW jones. Any thoughts? Thanks.
