Here’s a link to a post yesterday from a member who had surgery with Dr Bove- hopefully this will reassure you: Life after Eagle 3 yrs later
She says anyone can PM her with questions.
I had external surgery, so can’t comment personally about intra-oral, but from what I’ve read it seems to be the same as recovery from a tonsillectomy- it can be quite tough & eating can be difficult. If you google recovery from tonsillectomy as an adult you can get some info about what to expect as well as the info in the Newbies Guide section on here!
Obviously you’ll be nervous about surgery, but Dr Bove is experienced, so will be aware of avoiding blood vessels & nerves. (Nerves are often monitored during surgery to avoid any damage). Having an experienced surgeon is the best thing you can do to ensure a good result! Whether you take medication is up to you & how you’re feeling beforehand- get yourself as informed as possible & hopefully that’ll calm your fears, a bit!
God Bless
