Surgery for UARS

Post by bookworm » Wed Feb 01, 2012 5:13 pm

Has anyone done this or is it even possible to be done? I might have asked something like this before but can't remember (bad memory as I'm sure most of you have experienced with apnea etc).

If you can/did have it done, did it help?

What surgery are you referring to? Lots of people here have had surgeries to deal with their sleep disordered breathing. Course most of the people who are still here did not find their surgery to be a cure, or they wouldn't still be hanging around here! But various surgeries can be helpful, and some people do claim to have been cured by surgery, and they can be found on nolongeroncpap.com.
