My surgeon is pretty much world class. I don't say his name to
abide by forum rules, but he is booked six months ahead of
time.(This is unheard of. Two months is considered a long time).

I asked him who he knew was tops in London. When he gets
back to me, I wil try to point you in the right direction.

As I said before, I don't think the MMA is commonly done for
sleep apnea, but I am sure it is done all the time for bad bites
and such. In my opinion, it is better to have someone who has
done 200 MMA's for whatever but none for sleep apnea, than
fifty just for sleep apnea.

course, Stanford seems to be the best, hundreds of MMA's for
sleep apnea, But travel, time, cost, and baby it is not really
feasible to go fly nine hours away three times.

But you get someone who does the MMA tons, and he is an
excellent surgeon, you should be just fine.

As for no one understanding what you go through, I get that. I
felt the same way. It is the curse of the invvisible disorder. If
people can't see it(wheelchair, blindness, etc) it is hard to
understand.

Keep the faith.

Mike
