I've been using LibreOffice for a couple months now to grade student's papers,
to which I append ample comments. I've just discovered that when I save the
document in Microsoft 2007 format and then open it up again, all the comments
I've written disappear.
...
Is there any way to retrieve them? Is that
information still contained somewhere within the file?

Hi,

File format descriptor (first 2 bytes) of *.docx files is PK, i.e. zip format.
Use some un-zipper (7-zip, WinRAR, ...) to extract the document tree structure.
The document contents itself is in "\word\document.xml",
and the comments are in "\docProps\core.xml".
(Use Notepad or similar, search "description".
 XML-Notepad couldn't help, for me at least.)

Regards,

Lyudmil
