Amy....my surgery was similar to yours....five teeth and the upper jaw (maxilla) and part of the hard palate taken.....I am doing quite well....you will be fine. Just think....By tomorrow afternoon, you will be rid of this beast and on your way to recovering! We'll all be holding you in our hearts as you go to surgery tomorrow and begin the journey back to good health.
