My husband had obstuctive sleep apnea, snored terribly, not any more he had the throat surgey and now I'm not kicking him all night. Kim Ps, An ENT does the surgery.

My father had the same problem and is using a breathing device recommended by his doctor. It is a facemask which is directly connected to a machine which ensures that he keeps breathing.
I know that sounds strange, I'll find out what the name of the device is, of course your doctor would know if it is an option for your own situation.

my friend used to snore really badly and i had to share a dormitory at school with him for a year so in the end he went to the dr because i was going to end up killing him otherwise, and so anyway the dr gave him this peppermint oil stuff and he hasn't snored since.

I'm an RN in the ENT center here and we do quite a few surgical procedures for snoring. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes it doesn't. Honestly, from my experience, surgery would be the last thing that I'd try, but if nothing else works, get 2 or 3 opinions and evaluate the most effective approaches such as Pillar and others. It is, after all, surgery. My husband snores, doesn't have OSA and over the years, he's tried everything except surgery, although he's been evaluated for a couple of the more common procedures. He doesn't like the risk-reward balance - too much risk in the surgery, too little benefit. We often have patients come in for a "tune-up," a second surgical procedure. Many of them still snore afterwards.
What he uses now is a snorender, a type of very sophisticated chinstrap that does a great job of keeping his mouth closed. What I like is that he rarely snores and it's a cheap, effective solution. Just my take on the problem.
