Ask how long to stay with the stimulator. I did mine for a month or two, got bored, quit it. No problems either.

After the surgery I had problems eating. I guess I asked about it, somehow I knew it was from the stuff they put down my throat, and from things being moved around. It did eventually get back to normal, but for a while I was crushing my meds, putting it in applesauce, and doing tiny licks to get it down.
