I had trouble breathing all the time due to the constricted airway so I definitely noticed a big improvement due to the surgery. There's no guarantee with this surgery but being there isn't really any detrimental side effects I would say you got nothing to lose by getting it done it could only help your breathing difficulties. Just be prepared for about a week of being uncomfortable and a few days of no food then you can ease into some soft foods. I'm not really all that tuff and it wasn't that bad. Not eating for a couple days is the worst of it. Any other questions let me know man.
