Default Anyone here have their uvula removed? Long term side effects?

I've had issues for 1.5 years of feeling something stuck in my throat. Tons of tests. It's not acid reflux. Uvula is long and touches tongue. Doctor is ready to remove it. But it seems he will remove the entire thing, not just partial. He didn't really say why he won't do partial.

Anyhow, it's not being removed for snoring or apnea. I have burning mouth syndrome also, which I'm hoping is related to the uvula issue also.

Of course, I read nothing but horror stories online so looking for anyone that had experience with this. Thanks
