I was tired all the time. My sleep got really bad in my late 20s and I ended up getting a sleep study (AHI ~10, no RDI scored) based on recommendations from the HN crowd. My then symptoms were excessive daytime sleepiness and erectile dysfunction. My second sleep physician got me on CPAP (first one wouldn't do anything so I fired him) which helped with the cardiovascular aspect of sleep apnea but didn't do much for sleepiness. A dentist-prescribed MAD helped me a lot which convinced me that jaw surgery is the way to go (had multiple people telling me about needing jaw surgery, including the late Dr Christian Guilleminault who coined the term obstructive sleep apnea). I went to a Stanford sleep surgeon for maxillary expansion and jaw surgery, who turned out to be a butcher, so now I'm getting these procedures redone with another surgeon and trying a BiPAP.

It sounds like your first surgery didn’t work. Why do you think the second one will be different?

The first surgeon was incompetent in hindsight. I had meager advancement from the jaw surgery and the expansion pattern was suboptimal (in addition to various complications).
