Hi mamacita, I've been following you...yes I know we are on the same schedule. I have you on my mind. Yes, I have the mouth guard, I was not sure what is was called, that or tongue depressor. Anyway when I put that in and lay down I gag on all the saliva pooling since I can't really swallow with it in. I think maybe part of my problem is, my swallowing is not normal since my TORS. That's why I'm wondering if anyone else had problems or is it just me.
