Mr Tink

I am pre band and wondered if only female had this operation I don't see many men here. Second I was told about processed meats. Is it like ground meat or processed like a hot dog? Would grinding meat in a blender or grinder qualify? How lonbg before mushy food and how long before hard food? Next I live 1 1/2 -2 hours from the Surgeon. Can my MD do the follow ups and fills? Or am I bound to the Surgeon? SORRY have not found allthe parts of this fine Forum Thanks Tink
