Hi everyone,

Dr. Li just posted his response to my question - Question 60 in the "Ask A Sleep Surgeon" column. For those of you unfamiliar with my story, I had the MMA surgery performed in Jan. 2010 which improved my symptoms about 40-50% but not my RDI. I was put back on cpap (now bipap) at a pressure level of 11. I suspect my optimal pressure setting is higher - around 15 cm because the use of nasal Afrin on my cpap titration possibly skewed my results. This is my opinion and is unverified. I know if MMA is not curative it can result in decreased cpap pressure which seems to be occurring in my case. I wanted to know if there were other surgeries that could lower your cpap pressure.
