Surgery has a 50/50 chance of success.....But for some one who got multiple throat problems it can hard. As they can rather painful after surgery. If he got severe apena, I'd sugguest not doing it if the risks are seemlying excessively high.

Try and find someone who walked that path that you husband is heading. Having muliple surgeries on their throat.

But swelling is concern if it cause him so much trouble. I say still to the CPAP for now....

Until U gather up enough info on these proccedure. As if doing one at time would make less hard on him, then doing it all in one hit if you consider op.
