what to expect

Posted by kevin from utah on October 10, 2001 at 04:48:29:

I've picked up a lot of very good info in these forums, thanks to all who participate. Several questions, though.
I've had the RF tongue reduction and the HS. Both were a relative breeze, had the RF on Fri back to work on Mon, no pain starting the 2nd day. Had the HS on a Mon (10:00 am back home by 1:00 pm) back to work the following monday, no pain after 4th day. Its only been 3 weeks since the HS and there is still a little swelling so I guess it will be a while until I know if I need GA or any other procedures. Now the questions...How long a stay in the hospital? What kind of pain (1 to 10) and how long does it last? How long before you went back to work? How long before you noticed improvement? Does full use of your tongue return (you know, reaching the back portions of the mouth, scaring the grandkids, etc)? How long until you regained feeling in your front teeth, etc?
