I heard the procedure is quick and fairly painless but the recovery is 10 days of the worst sore throat you will ever have.

this is fcking stupid. Exercise regularly and eat proper. You can drop the sleep apnea. use the machine if u must but you can make positive changes (I know this from personal experience)

@Benwell1 That's awesome-Congratulations!

@airtexaco Nope lost six stone in nine months last year instead ha. After commencing with CPAP i got the energy levels to go to gym and found Spinning cardio workouts - I recommend for obsese people as it protects your knees/joints etc is low impact, but burned that fat off big time. CPAP is now RIP :)

@Benwell1 have you tried nasal pillows?

This is from Canada and she said 3 times there is a waiting list for the sleep study. Of course, government healthcare is way better than what is in America (this was sarcasm)... Now before everyone from Canada gets mad at me let me say what Canada does is it's own affair. I can say this type of healthcare just will not do in America. I got my sleep study and a CPAP in a week...
in 8 years as a sleep tech i never had one patient that came back from the surgery and did not have sleep apnea.For some of them it was even worse due to scar tissue. DO NOT HAVE A SURGERY....GET A CPAP. I have been in sleep for 8 years and I use CPAP. It there was something out there better I think I would already be on it. TRUST ME

DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER this surgury. It is so archaic. The surgeon cuts out the back of your throat. You need your uvula, it slows food and liquid as it travels down your throat, so you don't choke. PLEASE, go see your dentist and inquire about a TAP appliance. They are a much better alternative to surgury or CPAP.
