I had almost exactly the same type of surgery on 5/23/05. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to write me or private message me and we can email each other.
It has been less than 4 months and I have been back to work since 7/6 and am eating and talking really well. Physically, I am almost 100% as far as strength and endurance.
Hang in there. We are all behind you.
