Hi, I dont know if any of you will remember me. I posted on here a long time ago.

I was 19 and diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I had a terrible doctor who blamed my apnea on my weight (at the time I was heavier) but because he was a doctor I listened to him and lost weight (almost 40lbs) and was now at a healthy weight and still suffering. I had been given a Cpap machine which I rarely used, I hate/ed that thing with a passion. Until recently I believed what the original doctor had said, that I could not have my tonsils removed because my mouth and throat were too small to withstand all of the scar tissue. Well I decided to find a new doctor who after testing decided that I was a perfect canidate for a tonsilectomy.

Last month I successfully had my tonsils removed, and the DAY they were removed my apnea subsided. I no longer am exausted, or lethargic, I sleep soundly, do not annoy my family or boyfriend, my favorite thing is that I dream now. I hated that when I began having apnea my dreams went away, now I look forward to going to sleep every night.

Thank you all for your support I hope you all find the help you need! And dont just stick to one doctor, ask and ask and ask!

Did you have another sleep study after you had your tonsils removed that woulde be the only way to be sure your OSA has improved.?
