Even before surgery I was advised by my sleep doctor's @ Stanford that the MMA would probably not cure my sleep problems completely. They believe I have, on top of the OSA, Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I decided to do the surgery anyway, since taking one problem out of the picture had to bring some improvement, I believe it did. My doctors were very careful in making sure I would set very realistic expectations, and I'm very thankful for that.
I believe you should talk to your Doc about looking for and managing some other sleep problem. For sure, without the OSA, it will be much easier to manage.
