I had surgery as a child when I went to the dentist, I could not lift my tongue all the way up and the dentist told my mother that I was tongue tied. He asked her if he could perform the surgery and she told him to go head and snip it. The thin flesh between the tongue and the bottom of the mouth was too long and needed cut a bit for my tongue to be more flexible is what I was told. Being 12 I had no idea what they were talking about, but it happened and 32 years later I still remember the smell of the gas they used. I k ow that’s not no oh wow type of surgery, but being 12 it was something.
