Hey there Hokie,

While I didn't have the same surgery,I can tell you it takes an awfully long time for surgery in the head and neck to heal. If you're on 400mg of Advil and contemplating 600, you're much better of than I was at 9 days post op! I'm just weaning off narcs at 4 months post treatment!

Patience my OC brother... all in good time.
