Sir , it needs to be further asessed to know the severity. First step is to get a polysomnography test. If polysomnography indicates severe sleep apnoea, you may require DISE(drug induced sleependoscopy).Only after fetting the reports i can comment requirement for surgery.
Next Steps
Polysomnography test
