James I dont know if your situation is the same as my husband's. His ENT says his tongue is tethered to the floor of his mouth. He has said he can free it up with a small out patient surgery. He said that would help with his speech and swallowing. My husband has had some other things going on so we havent had it done yet. I think when we go to 3month appointment in July we are going to tell him he is ready for the surgery. I think what you are asking is possible.
Hope all is well,
Cheryl
