Losing weight might help.
4mg of Klonopin is a ridiculously high dose. You sure you got that right? Who prescribed that? Michael Jackson's doctor?
Most people do not experience a relief of sleep apnea following sinus surgery.
Good luck.

Re: Totally getting rid of my apnea
Eric, a new sleep study would be almost mandatory if you lose a large amount of weight (or gain it). However, the chances of getting rid of your apnea with weight loss are slim to none. Weight loss cannot and will not change the underlying anatomy. Having apnea is a pain the butt, but the treatment is far better than ignoring that you have it. I have lost 10 lb since my diagnosis, but I have actually increased my pressure rather than decreased it. I still have enough apneas during each and every night to know that there is no way I will be able to stop using the machine.

Suddenly; do you even remember what you wrote when you started this thread?
I would not be surprised if no one at all takes you seriously any more.
Is that what you wanted?
