Lowanne,
I hope everything goes well. I'll warn you that the impression part of the aumentation fitting made me gag and I threw up. They put a mold in your mouth that makes your mouth very full and since surgery my gag reflex works almost too well. If I had to do over again I might ask for something to calm me down. The mouth piece makes a huge difference in the way I talk and sound. I am about 98.5% understandable with the prosthetic and 91% without it.
I may have stated before my biggest issue is eating.
My thoughts are with you guys.
