I strongly advise you against LAUP surgery. It is not approved my the medical establishment. Outcomes are poor, morbidity is high. This kind of surgery can make your airway narrow. For more on that, you can see this release by the American Sleep disorders Association:

Please seek out competent medical opinions.
