Adenoidectomy experiences, sleep apnea issues

Hi!

My daughter is 3.5yo and has had sleep apnea from birth - loud snoring , mouth breathing etc. Consultant believes she will have enlarged adenoids and recommends surgery. I’m nervous because she doesn’t seem to have any intense symptoms - yes, she wakes a lot in the night and is slim and sometimes moody, but from other stories I’ve read, symptoms before surgery have usually been quite extreme, like ear infections, behavioural and speech issues etc. Would love to hear some more experiences, don’t want to pin all our hope that surgery will help her sleep and worried about going ahead unnecessarily. In need of advice and reassurance! Thanks x
