My sleep apnea has been permanently significantly declined through UPPP (I have no uvula, and that is a formal excuse to avoiding singing) and Rhinoplasty surgeries, from years ago. I have not woke up in the middle of the night, choking, in years.
I needed the Rhinoplasty, in particular, as I was bottled in downtown Manchester, by a thug, when him and his two buddies could not beat me up. My from the neck up (no brain surgeries) surgeries are now minor maintenance. The very low carb, no potatoes, no pasta, diet, helps immensely with weight loss.
I was just back from a second visit to a Vancouver cosmetic surgeon. She is a real genius, with an instant eye for what needs to be improved. She says: 'You don't look so mean now.'
(Hmm, that is both good and bad, IMHO)
