Tricia May 31st surgery date

[Guest guest]

Okay, finally got my surgery date for May 31st! It is coming so

fast, I'm getting nervous. I am getting a LeFort I osteotomy with

rigid fixation and a bilaterall saggital split with rigid fixation.

What does that mean?? Who knows!!! I am really interested in hearing

about other's experience with being wired shut. I am a speech

pathologist, and the idea of being wired shut is really frightening,

and i'm not sure how much talking I'll be able to do!

If anyone has some advice or experiences regarding this whole

process, I sure need to hear them now more than ever!

Also, has anyone had any luck with certain products that are marketed

for eating/drinking? For instance, the zip/squeeze bags? Anyway,

hope to hear from someone!!
