Hey thanks guys,

We haven't had any more bleeding for a while but I'm still hearing a little snoring and its been almost three weeks... What do you think that means?

There could still be some swelling that causes snoring.  Or another possibility is that there is a little tissue left that is causing the snorning.  A lack of snoring does not guarantee no more apnea, the only way to tell for sure is with a follow up sleep study.  Make sure you allow enough time for healing before retesting.


Chris was retested at 7 weeks after surgery, and that (among other things) is causing her pulmo to question the apnea diagnosis.
