heya 'tech'
i understand where you're coming from but if i am able to get the surgery done which is a the uvulopallatplasty done and it is successfull which my ENT thinks will be (but also tell me that it is a 50%success rate) then i will not have to be hooked up to a machine to sleep correctly. i will have treated the source as opposed to the symptom- but will have the cpap to fall back on.
my ENT deals with sleep disorders and seems like a very good doctor but i didnt know there were specific doctors that deal in only sleep- i will check into this though
-thanks
