Michael,

The more I hear about your experience, the more it mirrors my own. =)

It sounds like the tongue might be playing a big role in your situation. I'm not sure about me. The 3 different drs. I've seen all have said that the tonsils, uvula and low-hanging palate are probably the culprits.

I was surprised that the hypos were 90% of the RDI. Kinda made me feel a little better about the chances of surgery getting rid of it, since it can't be THAT bad of a blockage if 90% of the time it doesn't completely block.

Hey - enjoy your stay in the bay area. I miss it already (it's freezing in Chicago!) Let us all know how it goes.

Take care,
Paul
