I am doing great. I am completely healed and I am sleeping wonderfully. My husband says that my snoring is gone. I haven't used the CPAP at all and am almost ready to send it back. In retrospect, the surgery was worth it. 2 weeks of pain to be rid of that machine. I couldn't live my life as a hosehe...

Can you believe, no pain meds for 2 days now!! I would say the tonsils are but a mild discomfort. Ate fried rice, which probably wasn't the best thing. Felt like it got stuck in my throat. Have no energy level though and that is annoying since I am generally pretty active. Husband says that I sleep ...

Followup with the ENT went well. She said I had blown a few stitches and that my be some of the discomfort because of the raw edges. However, my recovery is going well. She said she expects her patients to be on pain drugs for 3 weeks, so she wrote me another script for the Hycet. Can take the Hycet...

Feel fabulous today. Swelling is down, pain is minimal. Only one dose of Hycet since midnight last night. Not bad. Got dressed in skinny clothes, that is the upside!! The Hycet with the cherry flavoring was a good idea. It took some of the zing out and enabled it to go down easier. My snoring has st...

The pain was even worse today. Hurt so bad I couldn't take the medicine. Took almost an hour to swallow 3 ccs. Ate nothing today. 1 cup of herbal tea was about it. Actually broke down and called the dr. in tears. Nurse said that this must be the pain part and promised me it would get better. My husb...

I really like hearing from those of you who are "survivors"!

not a good day. Am so sore I couldn't even bring myself to swallow the Hycet. Finally did and it masked the pain for about an hour. The pain in my ears is really bad. I truly could not talk today, so I reverted to communicating with a pen and paper. I haven't eaten anything today either. Tried to ta...

I thought today would be a rough day. Woke up this morning with huge headache due to pressure in the ears. Took the Hycet and took some of my kids liquid grape motrin. I think the Children's motrin worked great. Finally took a shower and did about 6 loads of laundry, which shows my energy level is g...

I am taking my hycet every 4 hours on the dot. Today, I decided to be a little braver. I gargled with salt water and made it 5 1/2 hours. I ate mashed potatoes for supper. I think those were the best ever!! My dr said that I would be experiencing pressure in my ears, which I am, she said that is why...

Well, her I am! I had my surgery on Wednesday. Really no big deal. Stayed overnight. That was awful. I had a screamer in the next room, so at 1:00 am I was transferred to another room They are all private, so that was nice. I took the liquid Loritab, which although it is nasty did the trick. Came ho...

My dr said that if there was a candidate to cure, it would be me. She reassured me that it is not going to be as bad as I think it is. The only reason she is keeping me overnight is because I witnessed my husband's botched surgery and she wants me there for them to cater to me. I am cool with that. ...

My snoring isn't caused by being fat. I am a normal 145lb person. However, my premenapausal weight of 120 was much better!! That is why I am hoping to lose 20 lbs. I will keep you all informed of how it goes. Unfortuantely, I have never been an ice cream eater, so I guess I will load up on popsicles...

I have very mild sleep apnea, thus the CPAP was ok'd. My problem is that I snore loud enough to wake the neighbors. My palate vibrates and my uvula is huge so hopefully the surgery will correct all this. I can't put off the surgery, since I will not have 100% paid coverage after this month. My husba...

I am having surgery on Wednesday. I am hoping that I will not need the CPAP after that. My husband had the surgery and had complications attributed to a bad dr., but now he sleeps like a dead person. I have a good dr. but am very concerned about the pain. Need more information. If anyone has had thi...

I have the remstar and the breeze headgear. I am noncompliant because it makes me clench my mouth shut. I am a mouth breather and can't stand not to open my mouth. Also, I do not have a humidifier attached and wake up with the worst headaches. Tossed the machine in the closet. Husband says need to d...
