The surgeons I know seem to require a trial of cpap to make sure that it is an
airway problem that can be helped. My recollection is if CPAP can't help then
the odds of surgery helping go way down. Don't quote me on this, my memory
isn't perfect.

I would get a second opinion concerning MMA surgery. I am not familiar with
any surgeons in Minnesota so my recommendation is to talk to the local sleep
labs and find out who they feel is the best surgeon for you to see.
