I had Open Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty 3 days ago. My uvula feels stretched out and is touching back of my tongue making me gag.

I can feel it flutter when speaking or need to cough. The tip of my uvula looks white? Is this swelling or was my uvula damaged from the tube going down my throat during surgery. Most importantly, how long will it take to heal? I see my surgeon today, so I'll have him take a look at it.
