Hi all,
I am currently about 9 mos post op. I have had 3 good checkups. I have a couple questions. First, I have only had 1 scan since my last surgery in November, I guess I thought I would have them more often. Like every check up.Is that normal?

My second inquiry is, my tongue is pretty much tethered to the floor of my mouth, I already had one surgery to loosen it. Well it grew back down almost imediately, so I am going to have another surgery. They are going to put a skin graff under my tongue, instead of just clipping it. They are hoping it wont grow back down. My question is, can I expect to speak more clearly or just eat easier. It seems no one tells me what outcome I can expect. After the first surgery to loosen my tongue, it seemed my speech was less clear, but by the third week it started to grow back down and I never really got a chance to re-learn how to talk again. I hope I am making sense. If anyone can tell me what their experiance was,or has any information about this proceedure, I would really appriciate it.

Thanks
Wendy

Wendy, as far as the scans go most people have one every 6 months for the first year. Then it moves to yearly. As long as there are no problems, the docs dont do the tests.

Im not familiar with the problem of regrowth. My OC was located in my cheek and jawbone. It sounds very unusual to have the regrowth continually happen. Hope someone who has had this responds.
