Hi and Happy New Year!! I have a question to those with a tongue flap. Mine seems to be separating a bit and kind of sticking up more than it ever has, I saw my oral surgeon two weeks ago, he said everything looked fine. I see my oncologist Tuesday. I am gonna ask him about it. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this. Thanks!!!Carol
