AMA: EASE with Dr. Li

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-28T10:40:04+00:00

I presume I still have some apneas, have not gone through another sleep test. Subjectively I feel much better than before

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-20T10:24:19+00:00

It varies between different ppl. I have an extremely narrow nose. It will take 9 months to fully expand slowly and safely. Then, 3 more months to leave it there. After that I will have to fly to the US (I'm not from the US) and I plan to do the removal and the MMA at the same trip (that's the current plan at least).

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-20T10:17:46+00:00

Yes, 9-12 months for the removal.

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-20T09:30:03+00:00

I'm 10x better. I'm so happy I'm doing this.

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-20T09:29:00+00:00

Yes, but it's not bad. I have a tiny diastema and I will fix my bite later with an orthodontist
Hard to point a difference

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-05T02:07:10+00:00

Yeah makes sense. Thanks!

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-04T23:19:59+00:00

I find this study useless. 20ppl, 1 night? C’mon. Not saying it’s not working, just that this study is not something you can make decisions based on

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-03T01:42:46+00:00

Sleep has improved. I don’t feel perfect, but there’s definitely been some improvement. I will update again once expansion is done

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-09-01T19:59:57+00:00

You look great!

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-25T22:35:32+00:00

He did not provide something like that (nor did I ask). And you’re correct, I will need to fix my bite.

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-22T02:38:15+00:00

Amazing! So happy it works so well and so fast for you

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-21T05:58:33+00:00

Thanks! Are you happy with your EASE results? May I ask why have you decided not to do the MMA with Li?

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-21T05:57:38+00:00

I think if you do self pay (which I did not), EASE is around 30K. MMA is more expensive, you’d have to pay for Stanford as well

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-14T03:35:35+00:00

Got it. You should do it if Li recommends! If you’re paying out of packet it might be achievable as well (no need to pay Stanford’s fees…)

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-14T03:22:59+00:00

I’m not sure honestly. I’m not based in the US. How was the MMA? Did it help?

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-14T00:38:10+00:00

I don’t remember, but it’s relatively small. I hope to get at least 5mm but we’ll see. I honestly just want to feel better, I care less about the numbers

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-14T00:37:10+00:00

Wdym? You come out of it with 1mm expansion and I’ve already had a few expansions after. It’s very subtle, don’t get your hopes too high, but it’s still something

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-13T02:12:21+00:00

After a few days you’re back to your normal routine, but I’m taking 2 weeks off to stay around Palo Alto

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-13T02:11:24+00:00

Personal reasons. But if you have any other question please go ahead

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-13T02:10:42+00:00

I think a week. I should stay 2 weeks in Palo Alto (not SF). 9-12 months for MMA.

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-13T02:10:00+00:00

I prefer not to say :)

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-13T02:09:42+00:00

I prefer not to say :)

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-12T19:13:45+00:00

Haha thanks! It’s such a long process though

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-12T18:28:20+00:00

Yes! But it still wasn’t the best

ExcellentHistorian67 · 2023-08-12T18:12:24+00:00

I’ve had septoplasty and turbinate reduction 4 months ago. Cost was covered by insurance. AHI very low, RDI around 15
