Heading into surgery tomorrow. Getting my tonsils removed, uvula removed, turbinate reduction, and septoplasty by the assistant chief of the department I work in. Hoping all this work will "cure" my sleep apnea problems. So I'm probably not going to be very active on here for the next few days. I'm off work for 2 weeks though so once I'm not 100% doped up on morphine and percocet, I'll probably be on here a lot since I'm not going to be at work ;) And if you see any posts that sound like drunk posting/texting, it's probably going to be pain medication induced. So sorry in advance for anything I might say without not knowing it.

Anyways, wish me luck. :D

Thanks. I've been using a CPAP machine for the last 3 years. It helps but it's a pain in the ass and just sucks having to deal with it. When I was diagnosed, there wasn't much for investigation as to why I had it. It was assumed it was neurological which is very common and there's nothing that can fix it other than the machine. But when I started working my the department I'm in, I started seeing patients coming in to see our docs about sleep apnea. I talked to one of our docs, he looked at my gigantic tonsils and uvula and ran a scope down my sinuses and could barely get it down and then had trouble getting it back out. :eek: 3 months later I'm heading in to fix it. :rolleyes:

Good luck tomorrow - I am also in surgery tomorrow to have a heart blockage checked, I am hoping that an angioplasty will be enough to do the trick. If that is the case I should be back on my feet in a couple of days - the alternative does not bear thinking about.
Anyway, lots of luck to you.

Regards
Peter

Good luck on the surgeries guys. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and been on the CPAP machine for a month now. I must admit it is a pain in the @zz to sleep with. I get so frustrated I take it off during my sleep and don't even realize I did until I wake up in the morning. One night I guess I ripped it off my face as the mask was broke when I woke up. It stopped my snorring but not my sleeping problem. Some friends have had the surgery and they snorr even more and louder now so go figure.
