This is one post that really interest me. I think I posted that they want to take all of my lower jaw because the bone is dead, all of my tongue, lowewr my stomache back to where it belongs, then do the track and feeding tube and use my left shoulder for a flap or whatever. 2 surgeons working in unison for over 15 hrs for sure or longer. Thanks Eric, Hacklene and ESKion. I am glad t you asked this question Barry as I really didn't want to. Now I am glad to know.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
