Surgery for sleep apnea is not always successful as there many other factors associated with sleep apnea. First is weight loss then sleep hygiene then comes CPAP machine and last is surgery.. Get a drug induced sleep naso endoscopy to confirm the cause for upper airway obstruction then decide about surgery
