"True. I was pretty shocked to learn the low success rates for the surgery options."

I had severe sleep apnea as well and am actually pretty slender. About a year after the surgery, the sleep apnea went away if I slept on my side and was very minor if I slept on my back. However snoring was still there. Dental appliance eliminated most snoring and any remnants of sleep apnea.

I think the success of the surgery depends on how much of the apnea is caused by anatomy vs excess weight. I think surgery usually helps even if it does not eliminate the apnea.

Good Luck
