My dad had this surgery in the late 90s. Hopefully it's better by now because, yeah, yikes is right.
I remember him spraying antiseptic in his mouth for a few weeks after it was over and almost screaming at the pain every time. It must have been a requirement because there's no way anyone would volunteer for that kind of pain.
The real kick in the teeth was that it didn't actually help either.. He still snored like crazy and the restless leg syndrome (although now I think it's called periodic limb movement disorder) was unchanged.
Holy crap that's horrifying. And it didn't work, what the F.
Sorry to hear that.
Oh geez I just looked it up and the recommended surgeries are lasering off your uvula, parts of your tongue or soft palate.
Oh get out of here, those cannot be the healthiest solutions.
Funnily enough, it's what i have been considering for a month now. I don't wanna snore and I'm ready to call up a doctor over it.
Haven't snored since I started using CPAP.
