dadici 21 Posted September 29, 2012 That was one of the first tests they had me do when I started investigating the surgery, i was diagnosed in June and have been sleeping with the machine ever sense. I feel SO much better already, my moods better, I have more energy, and I'm more relaxed. Surgery is Oct 31, I hope I won't have to use the machine too long after the surgery, but I'm glad I've had it so far, it really improved my day to day life!

smallgirlsxthree 23 Posted September 29, 2012 I was diagnosed in my preop testing, but I don't need it now after the weight loss. I just did my last sleep study and it came back normal! My neurologist said once you get under 200 lbs you will probably have it go away 1 shayv123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, I have sleep apnea and still hate the mask but am also so grateful for the treatment. I only manage to wear mine for about 4 hours a night, but it has still made a big difference. I have to take mine into hospital with me and am not looking forward to wearing it, but it is for my good so will obey. Really hope I can stop using it soon, best wishes , :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feliciab6 0 Posted September 30, 2012 Hi Sheon-I had surgery in July and I had to bring my mask for sleep after surgery. Now I am sleeping much better and I no longer use the mask. So there is hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

feliciab6 0 Posted October 1, 2012 I was told to drop certain medications after two months and not a week. I had surgery in July. Now I know after seeing my doctor that I am moving in the right direction. I am so looking forward to getting off all meds! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuStartInTx 31 Posted October 1, 2012 Being treated for sleep apnea made me a new person, I feel like I was in a tired headachy haze and now I am rested and alert. Being on CPAP treatment even reduced my edema in my legs. CPAP plus surgery and now I feel amazing. Be glad they found it and give yourself a well deserved nights rest :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
