I’ve always been told that I have large tonsils. My wife has told me for years that I stop breathing in my sleep and after looking online, I pretty much know I have sleep apnea. I’m in the Army and run a lot and have more trouble breathing than I feel I should. I want my tonsils removed (yes, I know the risks). I refuse to sleep with a CPAP. What’re the chances that they’ll just remove them for me? Anyone know?

My daughter is 2 years old. She has obstructive sleep apnea due to her very large tonsils and adnoids. We are waiting for her surgery date and just recently got released from hospital from apnea attack.
Could this kill her? I am so worried and want them to do the surgery now with this happening could she stop breathing all together while sleeping?
