I've had to get a very invasive jaw surgery in order to try to "fix" my apnea, which was not weight related, but instead due to how my head was formed. Its still mind-blowing to me how maladapted my genetics are to something as "natural" as sleep.
- dsego 7y agoIf you don't mind me asking, are you happy with the results, any numb areas or nerve damage? This is from someone interested but still a bit uneasy with the whole procedure.
- taurath 7y agoThe very middle of my chin is still ever so slightly numb, from where they put a pin in it. I've gotten used to it - it used to be more numb and bugged me for a few months afterwards. Also, I can never box as my jaw is now pretty weak, and wearing a wrap-around helmet can hurt. Overall its worth it. RDI from 80/hr down to around 10 - it allows me to get through life without being completely sleep deprived though my sleep is still not perfect. A CPAP makes my RDI go up, not down, so this is the best that medical science can do.
