Sleep study tonight



Recommended Posts

I have had a CPAP since 2007...was able to quit using it 3 yrs ago when I lost 85 pounds. Needed to start using it again when I gained back...so yes' date=' sleep apnea can go away with weight loss! I can tell you exactly what weight I need to be at for mine to disappear. Can't wait to get rid of that thing again for good![/quote']

Thank God. Im waiting for my cPaP to come in. The doc said I need it right after the sleeve is done.

I heard from the sleep center on Friday that I showed no signs of apnea. Yay!! I didn't think I had it but it was great to hear it officially!

Just started the CPAP last night (diagnosed with mild sleep apnea)...... Hmmmm..... this is going to take some getting used to.... BUT... I will do whatever it takes as suggested by my doctor. Hope I get better sleep tonight. Pre-admin testing first thing tomorrow morning.

I have been on my cpap machine since 2005, it takes a little while to get used to it but once you do, sleep is so much nicer. I rarely feel tied at all, it's easier to concentrate, and I feel better all around. My son thinks I look like darth vader though.....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
