I had the GA and the HS done as separate procedures about 4 months apart. Then two of them combined had aonly minimal effect. The one that dropped me from 60 to 0 was the mma. The surgeons should have done some xrays to verify the opening and how far down the throat the tongue extends. Doing them blind seems to be a waste.
