Surgery Expectations

Just in case anyone wanted to know the details....

We had our pre-op appointment last week. We spoke briefly with the nurse and surgeon. We are going forward with surgery. It will be a palate lengthening procedure. The surgery is expected to take approximately two hours to complete. Afterwards she/we will be staying a minimum of one day in the hospital. (We learned from last time though and will be packing for three days!) After the surgery she will be on a pure liquid diet (water consistency) for two weeks. After two weeks and the doctor gives the okay she will be on a soft diet (smoothie/pudding consistency) for another 4-6 weeks.
