Wow Linda, I too am tongue tied and have wondered what would it do for me to have it clipped - I see the string and I too cannot reach my palate with my mouth open ( I just learned that on wed at a clipping). I live in Tongue Tie world on Long Island New York. I have a great relationship with the master Dr Betty Coryllos and of course the great Catherine Watson Genna ( :) ) too!!! I had a delayed speech (over three years) and IBS my whole life along with crooked bottom teeth, as well as a strong gagging reflex and choking on food. My two sons seem fine but my daughter ( now almost 8) killed my nipples, screamed, and vomited breastmilk for a few months. I fought through it and that put me on the road to "LC land". Her speech is great but she still has stomach issues. She nursed until 5 YRS so I think the speech is good due to all that muscle/jaw exercise. I still wonder should I get the both of us clipped. You are so brave to do so!!! Thank you for teaching us more. Regards, Donna Donna B.
