Have you had good or bad results from sleep apnea surgerty?!


Question:

Have you had good or bad results from sleep apnea surgerty?

I've had positive feedback so far from everyone who has told me of their surgery. However, the doctors seem to do everything possible to discourage it, claiming it is often ineffective, painful, and has negative side effects. I suspect the doctors' attitudes may be influenced by HMO policy and liability considerations. Would like feedback from people who have actually had the surgery or are close to someone who has had it.

That's "surgery", not "surgerty".


Answers:

the doctors want do because its not an iminent surgery, your life is not in danger if you stay like that, and dont want to risk the 5-6% chance of mortality in this tipe of surgery, if you can live like that. But if you want to do it anyway, go ahead, but you have to consider that this is a surgery on the brain...!....but if you are not an 60-70 years old man with low immunity, than you have 99.99% for succes
