Moderate obs. tructive sleep apnea (ahi 18.8). starting on cpap machine to start with, but my allergist asked to consider mma surgery. pls suggest.

See details: Give the C-PAP an adequate trial first. Avoid surgery if you can.

Case by Case: MMA surgery is VERY effective in certain situations. Many patients who can not tolerate or dislike CPAP can PERMANENTLY be cured and not need CPAP. Ask you sleep doc for a referral to a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgery to discuss this option.
