Hi @la93 Just returned from Mayo and whilst there I was thinking you were likely in recovery over at St. Mary's Hospital. I met with Dr. Ettinger from the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery group. We had a chance to discuss current cases which is why you came to mind, although we never discuss specific patients per se. I hope all went well and you are now in the struggle to full recovery. It certainly isn't a simple procedure or quick to bounce back but I hope you will do just fine.
I of course was there for an annual follow-up being now coming up on five years out from surgery. I have a specific issue not uncommon with using leg tissue in that I get a section which continues to grow and requires a quick snip to remove along side my prosthesis. Aside from that, scans show complete recovery with no known issues or (in my case) cancer reoccurrence.
I wish you well.
