This morning I woke up choking on my uvula. What the hell do I do? [more inside]

I had surgery two days ago, under general anesthesia. When I got out yesterday, it kind of felt weird in my mouth. After some research, I found that my uvula was pretty swollen and it felt like I'm going to swallow it. The surgery had nothing to do with my mouth, but I did have a breathe tube, so my whole mouth felt kind of sore after the surgery. [more inside]

SnoreFilter: Apparently, I have a giant uvula. One that's flopping around in my throat at night and keeping my girlfriend up with its monsterous noise. At least, that's what the ENT doctor said. She recommended Radiosurgery to either shave the uvula down or remove it completely and make more space in my throat. Has anyone heard of/had this procedure done?
