You might be a candidate for MMA surgery. You should look into the possibility. MMA works to some degree or another on most people, but the best results are to be found in people with weak chin (small/recessed lower jaw) and who are not obese. In many people MMA can produce a significant decrease in sleep apnea. In some people, the CPAP device is no longer needed after that surgery. To be tested, you need to go to an oral and maxilofacial surgeon.
