Full disclosure: I am biased because my mother is an expert in Buteyko breathing and myofunctional therapy and runs a practice called HappyMyo. This stuff is something I ALWAYS wrote off as hokey garbage, until I tried it. Training the breathing (and the musculature of the face, not mentioned much in the article) completely got rid of my snoring. I have heard of other testimonials from athletes of improved performance as well. If you have one of the conditions that Buteyko/myofunctional therapy can help, I highly recommend you research it before surgery, assuming it's relatively benign.
