Jen Anderson’s Story The article highlighted the story of patient Jen Anderson, a Gallatain Gateway resident who struggled with sleep apnea for years before being diagnosed and before finding a working treatment. Anderson was sleeping in a recliner and suffering from poor sleep and daytime fatigue for three and a half years before she visited a specialist in Bozeman who was able to diagnose her with obstructive sleep apnea. While she was relieved to find out what was causing her sleep and health issues, she soon found that her prescribed treatment, a CPAP device, was not working for her. The device slid off of her face at night and changed the sound of her voice during the day. When Anderson started looking for alternatives, she found Dr. Clark Taylor and Surgical Sleep Solutions. She attended a local seminar, requested a consultation, and decided to go through with the surgery. It worked almost immediately. “The first night after getting the surgery I can remember waking up and it was just volumes of air in and out effortlessly. I can breathe like I have never breathed before,” she said. Read more about Jen Anderson’s experience at Surgical Sleep Solutions.
