It would be great if the not smoking and the weight loss was enough to relieve your sleep apnea. Sometimes it's easier to take care of one problem at a time, which seems to be what you are doing.
Yes, there are many different combinations of surgical procedures that can help with your sleep apnea. If it becomes a problem again perhaps consider a visit to an ENT who evaluates for sleep apnea if you are interested in looking in that direction.

Pamela, thanks for writing me back. I understand that being tired all the time! I am bipolar, too, so I know what that is like, it can be exhausting from literally one minute to the next. But, I don't know about interstitial cystitis, though running to the bathroom all night doesn't help your sleep. Sorry the cpap didn't work out for you, but a lot of folks have trouble with it. I'm told I snore, too, but luckily my partner falls asleep before I do and also, not so fortunately, snores louder than me. Are you going to pursue any other type of treatment, a dental device, or surgery. Perhaps losing all that weight helped you out a lot. Good luck.

Hey, thanks, always glad to have a friend and interested in what you were going to say, Pamela.
