Karen, After my aunts partial gloss, she had white "things" on her tongue also. The surgeon had a name for it, said it was normal to see these develop after surgery and assured her that they would "fall off". It took several weeks but indeed they did literally fall off. I wish I remembered the name he used but clearly remember hearing it was resulting from the tongue surgery. Hopefully, it is nothing to be concerned about. But you do need someone to give you answers just for peace of mind.
