If your snoring is really loud and disruptive, chances are good that you have a condition called sleep apnea, which MUST be taken seriously. Untreated sleep apnea not only stresses both the snorer and everyone else in the house who can't get a good night's sleep, it can also lead to heart malfunction and death!
Apnea is easily treated with the use of a night-breathing aid called a CPAP. You must see a sleep doctor before you can get one, as they have to be individually adjusted, but most insurance covers the cost. CPAP eliminates snoring 100% and keeps your heart from being damaged. Surgery is very rarely used to treat apnea, as the success rate is not that good.
Please ask your doctor to refer you to a sleep doctor or sleep clinic ASAP. These facilities often have a long waiting list, and procrastinating can really damage your health. Do it today.

Snoring is caused by the vibration of the something (I'm sure it's out there but I couldn't find it) in your nose. I saw this glimpse of a type of surgery that removes that "something" from Daily Planet I believe and no more snoring. It was around $8000 I think.

You might have a deviated nasal septum which is the bone in the middle of your nose. If it is leaning to one side it makes breathing from your nose difficult and results in breathing out of your mouth creating snoring or even trying to breath out of your nose creating snoring. Go see an Ear, Nose, Throat specialist (ENT) and see if he can help you out. it's called a septoplasty.

a snore is a sign of an upper airway or nasal obstruction, so you need to find out the sight of obstruction. is the snore coming completely from a nasal obstruction, or is it an upper airway obstruction. have an overnight oximetry done to find out if your oxygen saturations are dropping. if there is a sawtoothing pattern in your oxygen sats, further investigation should be done, like a formal sleep study. investigate sleep disorders at the american academy of sleep medicine, or the association of polysomnographic technologists website.
