Hi,
I have had sleep apnea for many years. Because I am such a light sleeper, I have problems with the CPAP machine (I own the latest and greatest machine).... So I am considering surgery, but the UPPP (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) surgery seem to have many complications. I have a friend who says he has choked several times since the surgery with food that constantly gets stuck and I just saw this video :
So needless to say, I will not consider UPPP.
Btw, I have also tried other products including the mouth piece that was made by a very well known dentist to bring the jaw forward and that was not for me either....
So my question: Has there been any new or better surgeries created that has less complications than UPPP? If yes, can you please share any information on surgeries please?
