Re: OSA OPERATION ? LATEST ENT SURGERY TO CURE IT!
Both of you put funds matching the bill in a escro acct, if after five years you are still cured, pay him, if not he pays you, to cover z little of your pain and suffering. If you die from untreated sleep apnea, both monies go to your next of kin, they can try to get smarter with it. Jim Hi Goofpro...

Re: OSA OPERATION ? LATEST ENT SURGERY TO CURE IT!
I googled it. It's an RF tongue ablation (for some reason it seems to be called "coblation" -- the only difference being the use of RF). It uses a probe that's inserted deep into the tongue to kill muscle tissue inside the tongue, creating "channels" around the probe while leaving the surface (rela...

Re: OSA OPERATION ? LATEST ENT SURGERY TO CURE IT!
I would be very skeptical of any surgeon who was "adamant" that he could cure your OSA. It is not that I doubt that some people can be cured or helped surgically; I'm sure some can and have been. But a responsible surgeon will not make extravagant claims like that, however privately confident he is...

Re: OSA OPERATION ? LATEST ENT SURGERY TO CURE IT!
Those surgeries have been tried many times by many patients but rarely succeed in 'curing' OSA, which returns within months to a year, only now with more problems using Cpap due to the way anatomy was changed. The UPPP in particular has a very bad rep in that way. ENT surgeons are not your best fri...
