I didn't have this done to remedy snoring, but my wife would tell you that I'm still a pretty capable snorer.

Well, heck, no one told me I wouldn't be able to make pig snorts. I have to rethink this whole thing.
Actually I did talk to the doctor and he will just be trimming it back, not removing it entirely. Since my only issue seems to be it touching my tongue, I will be good without taking it all out. Hopefully that will lessen any long term affects. Maybe I'll even be able to call to the wild hogs on my preserve. If I can, BBQ ribs for everyone!
