Pamalam 11 Posted September 7, 2012 Found out the sleep study determined I had the dreaded sleep apnea. I go in this sat the 8th to wear the cpap machine . All I have left to do is the group support meeting on the 15th then can be sent to insurance For approval. This has been some struggle getting here and am so ready. Any one had to use the cpap machine or whatever its called? 1 slojo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slojo 150 Posted September 7, 2012 I have sleep apnea as well. I only have to use a regular nasal cannula (regular oxygen tubing) for mine. I feel 100% better this past year since i found out about it. I was tired ALL the time before, now i don't HAVE to have naps like i use to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gloriann 43 Posted September 10, 2012 I was diagnosed with sleep apnea since 2005. I had the band in 2007 and was just sleeved in May. It will take a little time to get used to but you can do it. Give it a try. I love my cpap machine. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skane10 64 Posted September 10, 2012 I had sleep apnea and wore the CPAP mask. After being sleeved and losing 40 pounds, the sleep apnea is gone. My blood pressure also dropped from 135/90 to 94/60 at my last medical visit Sent from my iPhone using VST 1 gloriann reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
