I've Got Sleep Apnea!



Recommended Posts

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?

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!

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!

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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
