Try saying that fast five times.
Now I think I need this oral surgery after trying that.
Better yet, try saying it after you had it done, which I did a year ago. ;~))
By way of disclosure, I am not obese or even overweight but I had apnea since my 20s after a very bad throat infection and eventual tonsillectomy (now that really hurt like hell). I tried the CPAP machine and could not sleep at all with it. The uvulopalatopharyngoplasty was not nearly as bad as having my tonsils removed, and it has helped me get a better night's rest. I think I probably still do have some apnea, but not nearly as bad as before, and no, I will not go to get another 'sleep study' to find out how much better. If this is they way it is, then so be it.

I’ve tried that with MD’s and they can do it with out hesitation, a thing which surprised me since they weren’t expecting the question and the words were jaw-breakers like that one.
