Bill:

You are again wonderful.

This doctor emailed me the following "A tongue suspension can help some people without the invasiveness of jaw advancement. Relapse with the Repose procedure does occur in some people but since it can be done under local anesthesia (as is glossectomy) the benefit to risk ratio is high".

He does not say in this email he was going to do glossectomy too. That is the one I am afraid of.

I asked this Doctor for the names of two people he has done an he said that was illegal. But later he said he asked two patients and he said when we are on the same page he would have them call me. But I could not call them.

He was nice, but now that I am asking questions he seem upset.

He has written many articles on surgery for sleep apnea..i think about 20....and is a Professor at a University although he is still young.

The company who make up the best doctor list nationally (voted by there peers) has been on the Today Show and other TV shows.

I do not know if I can email there web site with out braking the rules of sleepnet.com.

But if I can let me know and i will email it to you.
