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.

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....

I snore berry bad. So I've been told. But since the day of surgery I have not snored a lick

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.

I bet you will be, even before goal weight! 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!

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???

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.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
