I had my tonsis and adenoids out at 8 years. My snoring improved post but didnt completely resolve. I was always awake at or before the crack of dawn at that age but not sure if it was related

My parents didnt have private insurance but decided to pay as a private patient in a public hospital, this reduced the wait to a matter of weeks.

Personally if it's a problem I would get the referral, get on the waiting list and if things have improved when you get the call for surgery you can always reasses and canel
