UPPP = Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty and NO clue how to say it...that's why even doctors call it the U triple P!

And yes, it cured mine for years...worked from 2002 to 2011. And it's typically the first surgery they do...mine is usually the last resort.

Thanks for sharing the website. My issue is that I have a large tongue, which I've been told on numerous occasions. Did you know that even after losing 91 lbs. I didn't lose any weight in my tongue.Ugh!

That's a tough surgery you've been through. Although mine wasn't as extensive as yours, it took me two surgical rounds and a lot of patience to see real improvement. Thankfully, it finally did come and I hope you get there too. No fun, that's for sure
