I used to weigh 230 (at 6' 1") and I had similar problems... minor sleep apnea, could only sleep on my side or stomach, numbness and pinching in the shoulder area, etc. Very similar to what you're describing. Anyways, I got down to about 190 (for reasons unrelated to sleep) and now I can sleep comfortably in any position without apnea or numbness.
It was a huge improvement for only some moderate weight loss.
