Sleep apnea surgery recovery diary

Post by apneaadventures » Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:34 pm

Hi all,

For those of you who might be considering surgery, I am in the process of documenting my current recovery. So far so good- much better than I expected once I crossed the 24 hour post surgery mark.

Given that this is a CPAP forum, I would have expected you to say "What, no CPAP?!"

I looked at your blog and saw the name of your surgeon, hence my comment. Are you using CPAP? Had you ever?

Thanks so much for posting this - I'm scheduled for similar surgery in a couple of weeks and I think reading this will help me get mentally prepared for the procedure.
