    I would like to know if any of you had speech problems before your surgery that were corrected after surgery?

    I have some slurring that is most noticeable with "s" words, but also with "j", and "ch". It bothers me such a great deal - has totally lowered my self confidence etc. I have cried many many many many times because of the way I talk. According to friends and family "I sound fine".. they are just saying it to make me feel better and because that is obviously the way they know me.. I know better! It's horrible and has really affected me.

    Any stories about problems any of you have had and if they were correct MUCH APPRECIATED!!
