causes sleep apnea and snoring, and stitch it up. I had to try the CPAP for one month in order to receive insurance coverage for the surgery. Forutunately, my ENT surgeon was very good about navigating in my favor to receive insurance coverage for the operation.

Oh yeah, I had to spend the night at the sleep lab hooked up to machines with wires and endure some testing to confirm my sleep apnea. After that, I tried the CPAP for 4 weeks and then had the surgery. Turns out I had a deviated septum also, which was surgically corrected at the same time.
