PostHeaderIcon How long does it take to recover from throat surgery for sleep apnea?

I recently had throat surgery for sleep apnea. My throat is exptremely sore, especially when I swollow. How long will this last?

I had a client who had the same surgery you describe and it took her about 6 weeks to finally feel normal. Take care of yourself and get as much rest as you possibly can – this will help your body heal. You’ll probably feel some residual from the surgery (depending on how sensitive you were to the anesthesia they gave you) for about another month or two.
