Dear Paul:
Sleep apnea is quite common and, although it can be quite serious, surgery is usually the last resort. Some people are helped by using a simple mouthpiece during sleep. The most common treatment is positive-pressure ventilation. Special simple machines that provide steady gentle pressure to a nose-piece can result in normal sleep. People with sleep apnea find their lives are changed by using positive pressure ventilation devices.
Every major city has sleep medical clinics and sleep specialist. Chicago probably has dozens.
Paul, please exhaust all other options before you submit to surgery!
Sincerely,
Otto
