iOS 6 deleted my text messages and iMessages

When I downloaded the new iOS 6 software, it deleted all of my text messages and iMessages. Is there anyway I can get them back?

iPhone 4, iOS 6

To downgrade right now if your on a Mac go to your trash and look for a file that has 5.1.1 in it and ipsw at the end move that to the desktop then plug in your phone to iTunes and while holding the option key hit the restore button in iTunes and it will bring up a dialog to find a file just point it to that ipsw file you copied to your desktop and you should be good to go. This will only work while apple is still signing that version which could be anywhere from another day or another 10 min.
