Thanks for the tip, professorchaos. I hadn't thought of seeing
Dr. P or R, having been reasonably happy with Dr. KL. But it's an
interesting idea.

Actually, Dr. Guilleminault and others at Stanford have said that I
have a long soft palate and have significant pockets near my
tonsils. (Now that I've had my MMA, it's amazing to see how
much different the inside of my mouth is and how much more of
my tonsils I can see.) Dr. KL says his suspicion is that I have a lot
of nerve damage, and so further surgery would be useless.
Especially since my airway is already large. The idea is that my
throat muscles are "floppy" and so wouldn't be helped by further
enlargement. But Dr. G says there's a chance.

It may be worth getting yet another opinion. I'll have to give this
some thought...
