I looked into it, as there is a local doctor who does it. I stopped inquiring when I read the cost was 30K. I have not heard of any opinions of it outside of their website.

The inspire medical treatment has been covered previously and you can read about it. As I recall, very little first hand though.

They have very specific guidelines regarding the qualification of the procedure. I tried for it, but did not qualify.
