I'm not positive, but I believe he had surgery for a Deviated Septum. It's referred to as Septoplasty and/or Turbinate Reduction. Trust me, without getting into the gory details, the surgery sucks. I had it done as a treatment for Sleep Apena and it did not work. I would have better luck getting rid of Sleep Apena if I would just stay away from the beer, wine and chocolate chip cookies! In Jeff's case, I thought his giving up smoking did more to releive his migranes than the surgery. But giving up smoking usually leads to chocolate chip cookies, so go figure.
