    Well good morning, I'm laying in the hospital now, just had my surgery yesterday! It went well, just make sure you have chapstick and gas x strips! They keep you drugged up, and follow your diet and you will be fine, oh and make sure your head right!

    Hey Angie , Yes your mouth is going to be really dried up , since your not suppose to eat or drink anything after surgery on till the next day, what I did was rinse my mouth out with Water but try not to drink any of the water when you rinse. It's tempting because your going to be really thirsty after the surgery.
