Re: IRENE : Surgery on 3/9 - Have a Few Questions

March 3, 2005

Hi,

Yes, I had double jaw.

This was my first time under general. Don't worry about throwing up,

you won't have any solids in your mouth, and the liquids will come out

quite nicely. Just try going very very slow when you eat for the

first time - it will probably be some sort of clear liquid anyway. I

was very hungry and ate the whole serving pretty fast, and paid for it.
