Hi, I've really struggled finding information & support about a parotidectomy over the past few months, so wanted to just offer out my support to anyone that might be about yo or have already been through it. I'm 3 weeks post surgery, so have been through it & now recovering. Happy to help.

    Hi, 
    I had my on the 30th of Jan and I have noticed that I swell up after eating acidic things. I have been experimenting to cook and prepare things that are not acidic. Has anyone have the same problem? Any tips on food? I have only as of 4 days been able to eat crunchy food and my mouth is almost opening up completely.
