Somnoplasty

Last Updated 26 September 2000

On 1 July, 1999, I began a surgical treatment called Somnoplasty to possibly eliminate my snoring. My dad, my brothers and I have been seriously loud snorers for as long as I can recall. I have compiled my notes on my personal experiences with this procedure (pdf file). My experiences seem to be somewhat unique, since the one problem I had is rare. What follows are some links to info on the web. The first link is the best since it is for the company that makes the RF device for Somnoplasty.
