Hi--I had the UPPP and tonsils done July 9. My recovery wasn't bad and I don't snore any more. But I'm still tired. If snoring is your only issue, I think it depends on how important it is for you to be able to sleep with your spouse and other people. No, I'm NOT talking about affairs here, but if it is an issue for you to be able to share a tent with another couple, for example. Or rent a large sailboat and all sleep on it together. My husband couldn't sleep in the same room with me for several years before my surgery and now he can. That happens to be important to me, but it is not important to everyone and that is o.k. too. If it is not important, then it is not worth the risk. Only you can make that decision. That said, then you can ask about somnoplasty which is for snoring but not for apnea. And if you decide on surgery, ask the surgeon how many they have done. Because it SEEMS the quality of the surgeon is very important since we have people on here who have had few problems (like me, thank God) and others who have had many problems. Good luck with your decision and be thankful you only have a problem with snoring and not worse.
