Is Surgery A Good Choice To Stop Snoring?
August 31, 2009 by John38
Chances are that no one wants to think about surgery, ever.No matter what your quandary or how much you may trust and even like your doctor, the thought of groundless and scalpels and the pain and bruising of any type of surgery is just not fun for anyone.Nevertheless, there are some new surgeries available today that can completely do away with snoring, and these procedures are typically done on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return to work the next day and experience minimal discomfort. Let’s take a look at these options that will help stop snoring.
Removing the Soft Palate to Eliminate Snoring
Of course, in this type of surgery the doctor does not eliminate the soft palate completely, as the soft palate is simply the area in the back of your mouth not supported by your skull. You can feel it with your tongue, if you slide it over the roof of your mouth.The motive that this surgery helps to eliminate snoring is because some cases of snoring are caused by that soft palate vibrating when a person breathes through their mouth, and the tissue obstructs that airway. If there is excessive tissue in the soft palate, cutting away just a layer or two can greatly help eliminate snoring. This widens that passageway and enables air to pass through this area with less obstruction and therefore less vibrating. It may not completely eliminate snoring, but it can reduce it.
Removing the Tonsils and Uvula
By removing the tonsils and uvula, or cutting away some of the tissue surrounding these, your doctor may be able to eliminate snoring the same way that cutting the soft palate does.The airway becomes larger and there is less obstacle and therefore less vibration.
For both these types of surgeries, there may not be a need for actual scalpels as many are now being done with lasers. This allows the doctor to make a more precise cut and take away less tissue than with a scalpel and can be a great option as snoring cures.
Building Scar Tissue
If the tissues and membranes in the throat are very flabby, they will vibrate more.A new course of action to help eliminate snoring is to cut or cauterize this area in order to build scar tissue, which makes the throat area stiffer and therefore less likely to vibrate.
Surgeries for the Nasal Cavities
Even those most causes of snoring involve the throat and mouth, you’re really not supposed to be breathing through your mouth in the first place, even when you sleep. Sometimes this happens when there is an obstruction or problem with the nasal cavities, such as from collapsing sinuses due to aging. Another common procedure to help eliminate snoring is to make small incisions along the sinus cavities to open them up, thus allowing a person to breathe much easier through the nose.
How to stop snoring is something only your doctor can determine if any of these procedures are right for you, and if you have any other options available to you in order to eliminate snoring in your case.

Jen, this might sound weird, but it sounds to me like you're doing really well in the midst of this. You're letting yourself feel, then reminding yourself of what is true, then letting yourself feel, then reminding yourself of what is true . . . it's that cycle, over and over again, that will help you integrate this loss into your experience, that will help you learn how to tell your girls' story. I don't mean that to sound overly clinical! I just mean that the back-and-forth of emotion and reason that you're experiencing right now isn't the chaos it probably feels like. It's you growing around this wound, learning your family's new narrative, finding the new way to go on, now that this loss is part of your story. It is, frankly, building scar tissue. But the scar tissue that will become, by God's grace, part of the strong and supple frame that will support the rest of your family's life, that the gift of your girls' lives and deaths will never be a waste. (Even in this world. I know you know their lives can never be a waste in the eternal perspective, because they are themselves in God's presence, much beloved. But I mean that even here, in this imperfect world, God will not allow their lives to be meaningless. And part of the meaning is going to be found in the midst of this pain you're going through. I don't know all of what that meaning is, because I am not their mother. But my guess is that you will find it.)
Okay, that was terribly long-winded; I'm sorry. I hope you will keep what good there is in it, and ignore the rest. But it just seems to clear to me that you are doing the hard work of finding meaning, of listening, of learning, of (again, this is the word that keeps coming to me), of integration, of integrating your daugthers' lives into your family story; I just wanted to encourage you that, from the outside, it looks like the emotion and reason you are going back and forth between seem to have a pattern and a shape, and though it looks so deeply painful, it also looks deeply good. I don't see how it couldn't be, given how deeply loved your little girls are, by you, by Todd and by our Lord.
(Again, I'm not dismissing how much it hurts, or trying to say it's all okay. Just that it looks, from the outside, like all of that pain is leading you to something. Again, I don't know what, and I don't suppose it helps that much right now. I just wanted to reflect back what it looks like to me after reading your honest words. It looks like God is with you in the midst of it.)
