Wow...that's a long time to wait for your surgery.

Does your insurance allow for second opinions? If so, maybe you could get one and if that doc also suggests surgery, you could press for as early a date as possible. Impress on the 2nd doc why you must have your surgery ASAP, and that your condition is compromising your therapy for obstructive sleep apnea. Somehow get across the level of your suffering.

Or...work with the first doc along the same lines. Explain why this can't wait. Sometimes this opens up their schedules a tad. I had one surgeon call me with a sudden opening for my gall bladder surgery for the following week instead of 4 months away.

Call his office and ask to be put on a waiting list. Surgeries often get cancelled for various reasons. You may get called and given 24 hours to show up. If they say they don't keep a waiting list, ask them if they mind you calling back every day to check for cancellations.

Gramps says all the best to you. He had the same surgeries, and they did wonders for him.
