UPPP and Tonsils removed 16 months ago-

Posted by Judi on April 04, 2002 at 12:57:09:
Hello,
It has been quite awhile since I have been here but thought I would post a message because I know when I was looking at having this surgery I would have welcomed info from someone who had success with it over time.
This surgery was 100% effective for me. Took the sleep apnea away completely. I had about 300 apnea events the night I took my original sleep study and my oxygen level dropped to in the 60's. After the operation there was only one slight event and no drop in the oxygen level. The docs were all amazed at the degree of success but for me...it has changed my life. I am a believer in this surgery and very glad that I took the choice to have it done. I know the results aren't guaranteed but I believe it is worth the chance to change your life. Good luck to everyone going through this decision.
