I went to see an ENT surgeon yesterday and according to my sleep patterns, snoring, choking he thinks i have severe sleep apnoea and so do i. I am having a sleep study done next week at home.
The ENT said that 1 had three options of treatment -
1. CPAP machine for the rest of my life
2. dental splint
3. surgery
and all in that order.
I got home all angry, thinking that there is no way in hell that i will sleep with a mask on for the rest of my life. No effing way. I am 33 FFS and what a turn off. Can you imagine your DH trying to spoon you and here you are with an oxygen mask on. Yeah right. I can understand if i was 65-75yo, yeah no probs.
I want the surgery. he said that there was a 60-70% success rate if i had the surgery done. Well, i want it.
My Q is has anybody know of anyone who had the throat surgery done, even though their surgeon said CPAP first?
