Hello, I am in Palm Springs. Back in November I had my tonsils removed and a deviated septum corrected. I am 39 years old. I have sleep apnea. My tonsils were very large and so my uvula is large. Well next week i am going in to have it removed. Does anyone know how the recovery is for this? How long before being able to eat again?

Re: Uvulaectomy Surgery
You should check this link first http://www.apneasupport.org/viewtopic.php?t=16840 It relates to UPPP surgery, but recovery should be somewhat similar (probably not as severe). Uvulectomy is even less effective than UPPP. Daniel. _________________ The untreated Sleep Apnoea sufferer died quietly in his sleep....... Unlike his three passengers who died screaming !!!!!!
