Frequently Asked Questions

Common concerns about Obstructive Sleep Apnea treatment and recovery.

How do I know if I have Obstructive Sleep Apnea? expand_more

Common signs include loud, chronic snoring, gasping or choking during sleep (often noticed by a partner), excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, and difficulty concentrating. If you experience these symptoms, a polysomnography (sleep study) can confirm the diagnosis. Our team at CARE Hospitals, Banjara Hills offers comprehensive sleep assessment services.

Is OSA treatment covered by insurance? expand_more

Coverage varies by insurance provider and policy. Diagnostic sleep studies and surgical treatments for OSA are often covered under medical insurance when deemed medically necessary. Our billing team works closely with patients and insurance providers to determine coverage and out-of-pocket costs before treatment.

Will I need CPAP therapy forever after surgery? expand_more

Not necessarily. The goal of surgical intervention is to reduce or eliminate the need for CPAP therapy. Many patients experience significant improvement and can reduce or discontinue CPAP use after successful surgery. However, some patients with severe OSA may still benefit from CPAP as adjunct therapy. Your follow-up sleep study will help determine your individual outcome.

How long is the recovery after OSA surgery? expand_more

Recovery varies by procedure type. Soft tissue surgeries like UPPP typically require 2-3 weeks of recovery with soft diet restrictions. Bone-moving procedures like MMA require longer healing of 6-8 weeks. Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks for minor procedures, though complete healing and final results may take several months.

What are the risks of OSA surgery? expand_more

As with any surgery, there are inherent risks including bleeding, infection, and anesthesia complications. Specific to airway surgery, risks may include temporary throat numbness, changes in voice, difficulty swallowing, or incomplete resolution of symptoms. Our surgical team takes extensive precautions and discusses all risks thoroughly during consultation to ensure informed decision-making.

Can weight loss cure my sleep apnea? expand_more

Weight loss can significantly improve or even resolve mild to moderate OSA, particularly when obesity is a primary contributing factor. However, anatomical factors like airway anatomy, tongue size, and jaw position may still contribute to obstruction even with weight loss. Our comprehensive approach addresses all contributing factors, with weight management as a key component of overall treatment.
