I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
First of all weight loss should be tried as it is the best and healthiest way.
If that is not enough then use of a CPAP device at night during sleep, a device which maintains a positive airway pressure in his airways preventing them from collapsing is the next step.
I hope to have been of help.
