I did read thru the referred to web site (somnus.com) and everything sounds fantastic, but we must realize that this info is completely from the manufacture of the equipment used. Downside risks aren't discussed at all, which worries me since this procedure was just recently approved by the FDA. I don't want to be my doctor's (and Somnus corporation's) guinea pig or "learning experience." What's the downsides? and how do you make sure they are avoided?
