Hi Marie,
Welcome to SG. That is wonderful to hear about your successful Jaw Surgery. Just curious - did you try CPAP before your surgery? Also, do let us know how it works out over time, like after your follow up PSG in five months. Each individual's experience gives us all more info to consider as we go through working with and making decisions on our own treatment. Thanks for the input. I hope you will add some more info as you go along. Good luck with a complete and effective recovery.
