51 years old with big time OSA RDI in mid 60s.. Was having mild success with Cpap, however, felt like I wanted to improve things and did not want to be obligated to cpap as I got older.... had some very good recommendations for MMA surgery. Did some research and pulled the trigger for Stanford. Dr Liu.
Stanford, as Im sure most of you know is basically the gold standard for sleep medicine, so for me this was the obvious choice.
Its a major deal and the first 10 days were very difficult for me with some major swelling difficulty breathing and not much sleep....
Im three weeks in now and I feel the airway is much improved. I am sleep in 4-5 hours at a time with good dreaming (hoping that improves with time)
My main issue now seems to be blocked nasal and sinus on right side.. I would say this is at least moderate if not severe.... has anyone else had this issue?
Starting to wonder if this could be permanent.
Advice/comments/help very appreciated.
