Zip-n-Squeeze recommendations

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm scheduled to have upper/lower surgery on Feb. 12th to correct an

open bite, cant problem, as well as I need to have my lower midline

moved over. This is after having surgery in July '02 for a severe

TMJ problem. The TMJ disc/cartilage was perforated, so it had to be

removed and the joint cleaned up. In place of the cartilage, the

oral surgeon grafted my temporal muscle. All went extremely well

with that surgery.

For my first surgery, I was able to drink without any problems -- all

the work (incision/stitches) were done externally.

For my second surgery, the oral surgeon informed me that I will be

wired for up to 6 weeks and all the incisions/stitches will be

internally.

For those of you who have had the surgery, would you recommend the

Zip-n-Squeeze product? If so, can one use the pureed food bags for

thinner liquids? Are the bags sturdy? How many bags should I order?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jane
