nyc8dove 40 Posted February 17, 2013 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.

wordygirl74 45 Posted February 17, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trickyday1 7 Posted February 18, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
