I had extremely severe osa and it was obviously harming my health, my marriage, my relationships with my kids, my career. I had a miserable existence I was living and needed to do something. I studied the other surgeries at that time and not one of them promised a 100% cure of the symptoms... 35% would not be enough to save me. I took a preemptive strike against a severe problem that would have killed me.
