Why did they take part of your uvula?

I had severe sleep apnea and it was due to very large adenoids and such. ENT Said it was prob better to do more than less since the surgery is typically less effective when you are older so they took part of that as well

Dang did it help, I have really bad sleep apnea and still have all my equipment, and I get tonsil stones so this is starting to sound enticing

Not as much as I would of hoped. I am able to breathe through my nose now which I couldn't before and never realized that wasn't normal. I can't gargle or get up mucus very well now. Overall though it did help some so I'd say it was worth it. How bad is your apnea? I think mine was every 7 mins I'd stop breathing so depending on how serious yours is you can weigh if it's worth it

I don't remember the exact stats but I was in a hypoxic state causing damage for like 70%+ every night, I got my nose worked on not too long ago for similar reasons and that seemed to help a lot so I may just stick with that for now
