Some of us have lots of information and some of that I will share with you.

As I talked to my doctor who is doing surgery on me Monday, I mentioned the UPPP and he said by itself maybe a 15% success rate.

Since apnea is usually the tongue and the UPPP both must be dealt with.

Usually the tonsils and adneoids works for little kids but for adults the adnoids I thought were usually worn down. I do wish you the best of luck .
