Hi! I can't believe it! I have always been self- conscious about snoring! Have turned down girls weekend get-a-ways just because of that reason. Had sleep apnea and given a CPAP machine before surgery (don't like it). Before surgery, 322 lbs.. Down 30 lbs. Now, waking up with energy I have NEVER had before and NO MORE SNORING!!

I snored according to my husband but did not have sleep apnea.. but funny thing..right after the surgery before I lost any of the weight.. I stopped snoring.. just like that.. not sure why.. but it did stop and I have not started back either.. and im down 40lbs since then.. lol thats another reason I didnt want a hospital stay... didnt want to them to hear me snore.. but I didnt .. I had stopped.. its a miracle lol.

I lost 100 lbs on Weight Watchers and stopped snoring. I gained it all back with interest and now I use a CPAP. As much as I like the good sleep my CPAP gives me I'm looking forward to breaking up with it. :-D

Have you checked to see if you require lower pressure? That could be a sign of progress towards a CPAP "breakup".

Yay cpap breakups! Congrats on the absence of snoring. I was supposed to use a cpap. I could never get used to it, so it collected dust by my bed. I no longer snore after the weight loss, but I still will wake up tired or with headaches. :(

Ya know, I don't even know if I still should be using the CPAP or not! Mine collects dust, too. All I know is, I am happy to not snore. My grandson says,, "Grandma is growling!" LOL!! Maybe he won't have to say that anymore!! :-)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
