Snoring Stopped



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had lap band surgery on March 8th and have lost about 10 pounds since the surgery. I have sleep apnea and cannot sleep wth my cpap on. My husband says that I have stopped snoring completely. I must be sleeping better as I don't feel tired during the day.

Has anyone stopped snoring after lapband surger? I was hoping I would eventually stop snoring (once I lost weight). I'm just surprised the snoring has stopped so quickly.

Thanks,

No, my snoring hasn't stopped, even after 50 pounds and a few months. Probably never will. Why can't you sleep with your CPAP on? You may sleep better in the short term do to recovering from surgery. Or, you may just be one of the lucky ones. Enjoy.

Yes! My snoring has stopped! Well, I may snore a tiny bit still, but nothing like it was. I did not have to do a study for the band but, I did a sleep study in 2006. They said I did not have apnea, but I did snore VERY LOUD and from the time I fell asleep to the time I woke up. I used to even wake myself up with my snoring.

Before my surgery, I was a very loud snorer with sleep apnea. I never got the CPAP because I wanted to lose the weight. After the weight started coming off, my DH told me that my snoring had stopped. I was so excited!!

Unfortunatley, I was still very tired during the day. The Dr. did a ton of blood tests to see if all of my Vitamin levels were ok, thyroid, etc... and when the tests came back normal, I went in for another sleep study. Apparently I still have the apnea. I was fitted for a mask. That was so very frustrating for me. So now, I don't really snore, but I have to use the CPAP anyways.

My suggestion to you, if you start to feel tired again, go in for another sleep study to make sure the weight loss helped with your apnea. I am not faithful about using my machine every night but I can tell when I've gone too many nights in a row without it, I get so tired. Good luck and congrats on feeling better and the success of your weight loss to this point! =)

Thanks All. I know I should get tested for the apnea again. For now, the great thing is I no longer feel tired during the day.

I should have had this surgery years ago.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
