Surgery is normally a last option. CPAP is the primary treatment. There are some types of OSA that need surgery but by far most don’t. There are many types of OSA that surgery won’t help and I personally know two people who got the surgery (one twice) and it hasn’t helped, they are both still on CPAP and have decided it’s not so bad afterall. There can be serious complications from throat surgery and virtually no risks with CPAP. I know one who got the surgery and it worked for but he said that the recovery was very unpleseant. I think biblical terms came to mind.
Using a CPAP can take some getting used to but is woth it. I took to it right away because I loved the newfound energy and alertness I received from it.
I was tested and diagnosed with OSA after my wife saw mw stop breathing for more than 30 seconds one night. It turned out I have severe sleep apnea averaging over 90 inteuptions per hour anywhere from 10 seconds to over a minute. I never got passed stage two sleep into stages 3 and 4 where your restorative sleep takes place and REM wasn’t even on the horizon. It was a split study so the first half of the night, I was tested without any assistance. The second half was with a CPAP controlled by the tech in the control room. When I woke up the next morning after getting just 3 1/2 hours of quality sleep, I was on cloud nine ready to do everything I could find time to do!
I’m actually going in for a test this evening to see if after 2 1/2 years there needs to be any adjustments in my pressure, I’ve begun snoring through the CAPA a little now and then. Tonight will be with CPAP all night as I have learned that I now don’t sleep without the CPAP. We had a power failure recently and I just couldn’t sleep well at all. I’ve come to love my CPAP and travel with it.
If CPAP will work for you, I would not even consider doing surgery.
