most probrably, yes, but not always.
I'll tell you the big problem, sleep apnea kills. pretty much when they talk about a fat celebraty who died at home, it was from a sleep apnea related heart attack.
and once you start using the cpap, you are addicted for life. you really can't wean off without putting yourself at risk.
so, if you can, in any way get rid of the sleep apnea without the cpap, do so - loose weight or look into surgeries that will lower the constriction of your throat. good luck
