My dad had this type of surgery 12/27.
He continues to get better, and has had 3 subsequent surgeries to improve function, and appearance. He is 64. He can now eat anything he wants, albeit slower, and smaller bites at one time, but his quality of life is good.
I hope this helps, and wish the best for you and your mom.
