amitch17 17 Posted January 26, 2013 Have any of you noticed a difference in weather or not you snore? If you ever did that is. My fiancé has been snoring more than usual and it is driving me insane. I have enough insomnia from being pregnant but I want to smother him! Hoping weight is a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Speedbump 38 Posted January 27, 2013 I snored alot when I was 370lbs. I have lost down to 255 and I no longer snore. If I could only get my wife to stop snoring.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack74 3 Posted January 28, 2013 I snore berry bad. So I've been told. But since the day of surgery I have not snored a lick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBubba 3 Posted March 9, 2013 I didnt snore before because I already had sleep apnea and used a CPAP. Unfortunately he would not allow me to use the first night of surgery so I didnt sleep a wink even with the pain meds. Since the surgery and dropping another 40 lbs I have been able to trade out my old high pressure CPAP for a new automatically adjusting unit which only provides the pressure you need. Before pressure was 11 current pressure is 4!! Big improvement. My hope is when I get to goal weight I will be off entirely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stopped using my cpap shortly after surgery along with bp meds (had hypertension with bp at 154 / 105...bad). In the last couple months my bp has been 100/70, which has never ever happened before in my life, even when I was at lighter weights. The surgery is so great to eliminate the need for meds!

Phat Matt 6 Posted March 17, 2013 After using my bi-bap machine for the last four months I've been curious about this. I woke up 79 times an hour during my sleep study and must say that I absolutely LOVE sleeping again!! If the Dr. says I no longer need to use it I think I might still want to. My wife thinks I'm the only guy that likes using my machine, do you guys enjoy wearing the machine??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim H. 168 Posted March 21, 2013 do you guys enjoy wearing the machine??? I enjoy that I don't snore anymore and that I get a great night's sleep. I was just sleeved on Monday, and I'm in no big hurry to lose my cpap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
