I had to go to a speach therapist to get exersizes to strengthen my soft palet and throat for another condition (vocal chord disorder). It's the same group of muscles, so a speach therapist is who you want to see on that, it was only one visit. You have to commit to doing the exersizes for the rest of your life but it beats the machine. I expect to live another 50 years. Losing the weight and making some healthy lifestyle changes has improved many areas of my life and the soft palet exersizes have made a definite differnce. If I get lazy and slack off I notice the difference in few weeks.
