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
Don’t do it. A UP3 (Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty) will leave you with coughing, choking, and swallowing issues forever. Find another doctor. Consult with Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.
