Unless you know for SURE that surgery will correct this, I would
be very hesitant. I had UPPP and GA (tongue advancement) and it
did not work. I went from 70/hour to 64. Not a very big
improvement.

how long have you used CPAP? I was told that sometimes when
you take a mask off, you're having difficulty breathing. I use
Flonase and that prevents my nose from plugging up, and makes
breathing easier. Try other masks until you find something
comfortable. It took me 9 years of trying to finally find a mask
that worked. I still am having some apneas though, but that's a
machine problem I think, and we're working on this. I am sorry
you're having so many problems :-(
