Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 489 | Other than it is awful expensive, does anyone have any thoughts or experience with the glossectomy spoon? One of my biggest issues with food is being able to get it back far enough in my mouth that I can flush it on down with water or something. My flap does not move so either I use a utensil or my finger to get it back far enough.
Opinions or suggestions appreciated.
