Most of the cured have left the premises.

The only surgery that always works involves a hole in your throat, through which you breathe.
It is cosmetically unpalatable, and results in high infection susceptibility.

Aww, come on! I do think that surgical procedures cure some people, but I also hold the unpopular opinion that weight loss cures at least as many, if not more.

I said 'always'.

And besides, I am allergic to people who tell me what not to say, especially in a rude way.

How did you do that?????????????? Chunky Frog, you wrote, "They are dead." I quoted you saying that and responded, "Oh come on..." I get that you can change what you posted, but how did you change my quote of what you posted?!! Maybe you changed it exactly as I was quoting it and I didn't notice you'd changed it?! At least admit you said, "They are dead" so I won't have to worry that I'm losing what's left of my mind!!

NO, you said, "They are dead."!!!! WTH??!!

[chunkyfrog]

I decided it was not a polite thing to say; so I changed it--I didn't know you were quoting me; but I had second thoughts-just after I hit "submit"--changed with no ill will toward you, and trying to be more fair.
The OP's rant kind of set me off. Sorry!

[chunkyfrog]

Yes, I said' "they are dead"
It was mean and as soon as I saw it, I realized it was a rotten thing to say.

just as i thought no real answer or help just childish fighting from a bunch of kids..my point has been made...

You're posting on an xPAP forum about surgical cures, what do you expect?

[Pugsy]

If I had the surgery and no longer needed a cpap machine why in the world would I spend time here?
We wouldn't be here if we didn't use a cpap machine. The few people that have passed through here saying "I am off to have the surgery" we have never heard from again. Don't know how it went. I few people have come here and are back on the cpap machines and they don't have glowing reports either or they wouldn't be here would they?

It's a cpap forum...maybe somewhere out there there is a sleep apnea forum created by those that had the surgery but they aren't here. You won't find one positive response here but might get a few negatives if the few who have had surgery stop by. They are here because the surgery failed and they are back on the machine. I am sure that is not what you wanted to here.

You got snarky responses because you posed your question snarky.

I have known 2 people who had surgery to "cure" OSA. Both of them reported a return of the symptoms between 6 month to 1 year after surgery,
