Bruce,
This type of surgery is not a cure. If your resp.disturbance index is over 15/hour, then likely you will only have marginal improvement. These surgeries you have undergone are 50/50 at best, and the successes are noted as a change in your index. Only very very few have not needed other therapy after surgery. I hope you are one of the few.
Good luck.
