My husband snores really loud too. Just the other day I was watching tv in bed and he started snoring and I had to turn the tv up to hear it. I thought it would be too loud and wake him up but it didn't. If I can get him to turn over onto his left side he doesn't always snore. He is totally willing to sleep on his left side he just ends up turning over on his back when he's asleep sometimes. There has been times when he's laying on his back and I will try to push him over to lay on his left side and being totally sound asleep he will resist me and say no. The next day he doesn't even remember doing it and feels bad about it. Most of the time all I have to do is wiggle him a little and he automatically turns over even in his sleep. He's so used to me doing that. When all else fails I go into the spare room and it's just so peaceful. I just lay there and go awwwww quiet. He was even willing to have the surgery but I didn't know much about it and thought that was a drastic approach. Then I recently worked with someone who has sleep apnea and she had part of the back of her throat removed and the back of the roof of her mouth. I don't know if that is the same surgery they would perform for snoring but she had a speech impediment from it. She was my bosses boss and I wondered how someone with a speech impediment could be in her position I didn't realize it was from surgery. So if it is the same surgery there is no way I would want my husband to do that. So does anyone know what they remove for the surgery if the problem is just snoring?
