Bruce, I believe you are talking about your Epiglotis (sp?). Don't know what the purpose of it really is......but my husband had his removed as well as soft palate "tightened" along with some other more involved surgery for some sleep apnea related problems. Certainly the deterioration of tissue needs to be looked at by an ENT (ear nose throat) ......but if it has to be removed.......you will still swallow, breathe and chew with no more (and possibly less) difficulty than you have now.
