I had somno done on my upper palate last January for 1500 bucks. This would include any "touch ups"
That needed to be done. The procedure was not much different than a visit to the dentists office. Doc put me on Prednisone and antibiotics which made the post op part real easy. I was eating a sandwich the same night I had it done. The sensation of having my throat numbed was unsettling at first, but I got used to that after about 10 minutes. He did not do my uvula at all, and it seemed to get big and flop around a lot after the procedure, but that too, eventually firmed up. Still having a minor problem with it gagging me. I am going again in July to have it done on the back of my tongue and my nose which is the spot where I feel the main problem is!! This will mean another 1500 bucks. Since the somno on my throat, I have days at a time where I will feel really good whereas I had none in the past. I also havent fallen asleep at my dest at all since having the procedure. I still have bad periods of time, but I hope these will be alleviated when I have my tongue and nose done in July. I should have a good idea about its success towards the end of August!!Good luck,
Kevin
