Very dismal success rate with this surgery. I had it done and my
apnea went from 70/hour to 64/hour. Way too much pain for
nuthin' It's advertised as a surgery for mild to moderate apnea, but
I'm not sure it should be advised for anyone. My doctor told me
that after this surgery, that it pretty much assures that if it doesn't
work, and you go back to CPAP, that it's a full face mask from then
on...but, YMMV
