I know how it is to be so frustrated. Don't give up hope. Doctors still do trachs, in fact I met a cashier at a convenience store which had one for sleep apnea. He said he now "sleeps like a baby." One of my former ENT doctors recommended a trach, yet I declined since I did not explore all other alternatives yet. Remember a trach should be a last resort, after all surgical options have been considered, UPPP, Somnoplasty, MMA, GA etc.
