Sleep Apnea

[spinncognito]

Had moderate apnea when I wasin my late 20's. Opted for surgery- UPPP. Worked well for a while until I gained lotsa weight in my late 30's. Snoring again now but apnea not a real issue. Do the study and see what the docs say.

Here is a video of a UPPP surgery:

I have it as well. Just started with the cpap. Doc said its not about weight but the back/roof of mouth, nose, and nasal structures. Went from 75 apneas and horrendous snoring, to none of either. When I did the 2nd overnight @ the sleep lab and they tried the cpap I woke up saying "wow, is this how a good night sleep feels?" Wifey loves the cpap, right now I am trying different masks or attachments to find the perfect one. Its all individual, don't think I am gonna have to go under the knife. I have been wondering about that mouth piece though.
