It depends upon BMI of the pt. If the pt is very obese and he is okay with cpap. I ll recommend you to continue that. Before operation you need to undergo following tests sleep study drug induced sleep endoscopy these tests reveals which is the site for snoring. After these tests we ll decide the treatment. Normally we do a operation called UVPP. Cost varies from hospital minimum 50k.
