I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea when I was 30 (ten years ago). Did the whole C-PAP machine thing but could not deal so opted for surgery. Got a complete Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty- otherwise known as a UPPP. Despite the painful recovery it was worth it as I do sleep better and snore less. Plus, I love telling people that I have no uvula (the dangly thing in the back of your throat). Amazing how many people think a uvula is a female body part!


Seriously, do not take apnea lightly and like Mr. Macey said, weight loss can fix the problem without the surgery or the machine.
