[quote="jawa"]Constricted feeling. I can't stand up straight and maintain a comfortably open airway. Its a torturous compromise between airway and posture/neck strain.

I had bimax done for sleep apnea. My sleep has drastically improved, but the daytime constricted feeling is unacceptable.[/quote]

I have the same feeling. Recessed lower jaw and standing up straight makes my breathing subtlety more difficult. I don't think I have sleeping apnea though. Should I get my airway size tested or something?

Sarah,

Have you had any luck with your search for a revision?

Awesome! I am glad you're making the rounds and getting seen hopefully by people that can help you. Nothing chaps my ass more than hearing about these docs that screw you up and either totally abandon you like mine did, or just string you along and feed you BS along the way. What is so hard about stepping up and saying X is wrong, and we're going to do Y to fix it and let it be done????

Best of luck. Drop us a line and let us know what happens.
