Not to pry, but would you care to comment on the success of the procedure?

I had the procedure and I wish I’d been informed that it was 25-33% effective beforehand, it would have saved me some recuperation.

Although, there was that one time I almost choked on my uvula, so maybe it was at least partially effective. My wife seems to think it was.

My hubby had it done 10 years ago, he did not have a lot of success. Yes he is obese, but his sleep study just a few months ago revealed 84 times a hour he did not breathe and a traditional CPAP caused or revealed central sleep apnea. This is neurological and he does not even exhale. Anyway, bottom line, the procedure did not work but the BPAP does. Best of luck- he sleeps!

It help to open up my breathing but I still snore. I’m glad I had it. I don’t wear the mask.
