“I chose the Pillar Procedure because it seemed a lot less invasive. It was a one-time procedure that was done in the doctor’s office. I was there for five, ten minutes, maybe. And then back on the road again. Quick, easy.

" . . . he ran through what the procedure was, why it was effective, he checked the size of my palate, the thickness of it, he went from the inside, he checked my tongue, kind of just did a lot of checks to say - it looks like you’re a good candidate for this. . ."

"I don’t really notice it at all. It’s up there; it’s firmed up my palate. I’m sleeping better at night. I'm getting better rest than I’ve had in years."

"He used the comparison to a dental visit, but it really was much faster than that. When you go to the dentist, you spend a lot of time and you worry about whether or not the guy's going to hurt you. It's different than that. It was very quick. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes, 20 minutes max. And it was relatively painless and I don't feel it today, at all."
