We'll just all assume that every person who gets this would make themselves early twenties with flawless skin, perfect organs, appendages and functionality, and no excess weight.

My question is, would you change yourself from your genetic baseline, and if so, how?

I love my body, I am very content with every detail of it, but I would make my tongue smaller in my throat.

It's a tiny detail but it is ruining my life by slowly choking me to death at night. Some nights are good, others suck, and it's a crap shoot.

The vast array of problems this causes are difficult to properly describe, and the damage it's done to my life overall is incalculable.

If that one thing stopped being a problem and I could plan knowing it wouldn't come back, my life would change virtually overnight.

Seriously, ask your doctor for a sleep study or a referral to a sleep medicine specialist.

How do you think I know it's my tongue?

This is the condition after I've spent 10 years and thousands of dollars learning to treat it.
