                    I have had so many sleep problems in the past 1-2 years! It started off by waking up and being
                    unable to go back to sleep. I would lay there, hoping to slip into sleep, and be dreaming but
                    awake??? I am not sure if there is a name for that. I usually feel sleepy during the day. I took
                    some mild sleeping pills (Ambian), but they made me feel just as numb in the morning so I
                    stopped.I know I snore very heavily( I am married, at least we still sleep in the same
                    bed,usually) and I am not sure if I have Apnea or not.
                    I went to my ENT in NYC he said the proceedure is great and works most of the time to stop
                    snoring. We tried to get insurance to pay, but no way. So since it is affecting my life and health
                    so heavily I decided to pay for the operation myselfe( $2,000 ouch!).
                    The thing is I would REALLY like to hear from some people that have had
                    SOMNOPLASTY!.....please
                    Thanks,
                    Steven
