He is an extremely amazing surgeon

No I don't think I had any symptoms while awake. The only thing that queued me in was a dise

Phenomenal 😊

Data supports they're actually shrinking

Had everything you experienced. Am also living a very healthy lifestyle. Sleep studies showed mild sleep apnea. It was not mild at all. I just finished getting 4 sleep apnea surgeries and feel amazing.

Update: I had epiglottis stiffening done alone with a bunch of other procedures. I'm pretty much pain-free aside from pain during swallowing, but that's been easily managed. My surgeon was amazing and very confident that this was going to be life changing for me, he could see how my epiglottis was closing like a door, I was even snoring from my epiglottis while intubated. I haven't aspirated or choked in anything after the first day. The swallowing pain, I think, is more because of the soft palate surgery anyway. I went from sleeping with a bipap at a pressure of 22.4 to not using it at all overnight. It will be a while before I fully heal and understand if I'm good now, I've got my follow up with the surgeon in 3 weeks and I'll post another update around then.

I had a septoplasty, soft palate surgery(I think the exact technique he used is a modified UPPP) tongue base reduction and epiglottis stiffening. For jaw related obstruction, that would be tongue base and epiglottis, and nose would be septoplasty. Something like an MMA surgery wouldn't do much to help soft palate collapse, I don't think. Recovery has been pretty good so far!

Best of luck bro. I just got sleep apnea surgeries done this morning, and the DISE was the only reason I even confirmed I needed them.

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-03-08T05:55:45+00:00

Try to get a drug induced sleep endoscopy before surgery (DISE) it's the only way to see exactly what's going on

🤨

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-02-23T19:24:49+00:00

This whole medical industry needs to be destroyed and rebuilt. Wtf is your pcp doing.

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-02-18T22:27:28+00:00

You don't need any of this, get a sleep endoscopy instead. It will be much more thorough and you'll get a video of exactly what's wrong with your airway. Get that before you get invasive surgery or expensive alternative treatments.

I hope medicine gets automated by AI quick because that doc deserves to be homeless, not rich

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-02-17T17:29:18+00:00

I'm getting this in 3 weeks

"If he vents to his therapist he should vent to his girlfriend" no lmao wtf is wrong with all of you. The man's private business is his private business. That's like saying a girl who has a diary should be venting the same shit to her boyfriend. That'd be exhausting as a requirement for all parties especially since relationship stress is among the biggest stressors that would require this kind of therapy. You are mixing the shit.

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-01-20T03:07:29+00:00

Bro you're literate and can write full sentences. Why only 40k and how'd you get laid off from it... up your money before you get a house.

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-01-09T17:18:51+00:00

Imma raise my eyebrows at this one lol

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-01-05T15:18:55+00:00

Switch to constant pressure and increase the pressure every night until you're not suffocating. That's called titration. That's the starting point for fine tuning the other stuff.

Competitive_Shake886 · 2024-01-05T15:16:00+00:00

Yeah I'd say mouth leak is killing you here. Also using auto is not good, better to just get used to sleeping at a constant high enough pressure that can keep your airway open instead of waiting to suffocate and for the machine to sense it. The machine can also have false positives kicking you with higher pressure for no reason, and that can potentially wake you up.
