For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

Similar boat. Getting my snoring looked into. Got a sleep study done and now I'm having an ent do a scoping to see what's actually vibrating and what can be done.

This is a major one!

Sleeping is a third of your day. There's a lot of health issues that result from bad sleep/snoring. and the worse is that you'll never even know it.

My wife had a sleep specialist provide helpful strategies after her pregnancy and her back pain stopped.

I tried Cpap and just could not tolerate it. I just got the Inspire surgery last month, which I think is the only other viable option in existence right now.

Mandibular advancement splint is another option.
