I was quite tongue tied after my first two resections. My doctor told me to move my tongue all over the place and to grab the end of it with gauze and pull as hard as I could stand to. Now I can stick my tongue past my lips,almost reach the outside of my teeth on the left (right floor excised)and can roll 'r's with my tongue (rrrrruffles have rrrrridges) :-)

Give it a try, best of luck!!
