If you have had surgery for sleep apnea, how bad was your pain after surgery? Any side effects?

I am about to undergo surgery for sleep apnea. Surgeon says the recovery period will be the “worst I have ever felt”. Someone who had the surgery said it just like a “bad sore throat” and not too terrible. I would like to hear from others who have had the surgery, and whether they had any negative aftereffects. I would appreciate only serious replies. Thanks.

I have not had the surgery but cared for many post-op. The thing about post-op pain is it’s never the same for any two people. If you’ve had surgery before it may help show how well you handle pain.
The main point I wanted to make to you was that across the board, the results of the operation also vary widely from person to person. Be prepared to not see a lot of improvement right away-but I hope you do!
