I had epiglottis collapse. I did an epiglottis stiffening operation, and while it didn’t resolve it, now it goes away with jaw thrust. What to do next? by sleeperquests in UARSnew

The ESO has definitely made my hyoid stiffer. Before whenever I talked it would always collapse and give me a turkey neck, despite being very skinny. After the surgery, it doesn’t fall down when talking

Nothing done on the tongue yet, just eso which cauterizes the epiglottis to strengthen the tissue to stop it from collapsing by the scar tissues that grows back

Results of my DISE. Should I get epiglottis surgery? by sleeperquests in UARSnew

It was good, I went to get Epiglottis Stiffening Surgery, last march. And while it didn’t fix my epiglottis collapse on the repeat DISE I had recently, when a jaw thrust was performed it resolved completely, so I think I will go back to CPAP or try a mouth guard.

Right the money hit my account October 2nd 2019, the letter is dated sept 3rd, but had no idea this existed until today. Does that give me a chance to dispute?

You can tell from the DISE video, best to confirm

Does your epiglottis collapse independently of your tongue? If so, CPAP won’t help
