Here are some thoughts....

One thing is that MMA is often an improvement and not a cure for many people, myself included. I had MMA and GA. I am absolutely much much better off than I was, but I am using CPAP again. What I can say is that CPAP works much better now than it used to. I am getting good sleeps now with CPAP post MMA. I wonder if that might be something that you could retry. Maybe CPAP therapy would work better for you now that you have an airway that is less prone to collapse.

Another thought, we are constantly in a state of flux with Apnea. Our body is constantly changing as we age, as we gain weight, etc. Could things have changed since your surgery? When they do a sleep study, it is a snapshot. It only shows where you were on that night. Things could change.

THey said that you were cured based on your oxygen desaturation statistics. What about your AHI stats?

Hope you feel better and get to the bottom of it.
