GSFan 3 Posted February 10, 2013 I did this a while back and am so glad I finally did! I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, now have a bipap machine and wouldn't want to be without it. I feel so much better! Good luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nyc8dove 40 Posted February 14, 2013 I just got my sleep study results. Getting my cpap!!! woot woot! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bvl 11 Posted February 14, 2013 I had my first sleep study on Monday. Went into thinking I was probably ok, since most have told me that I don't really snore. Apparently I was wrong - was brought in Tuesday for a second study with a CPAP, and today they called and told me they would be sending me one. I have to admit I did feel more rested after the study with the CPAP - I guess it's one of those things that you don't really know you have and how it can make you feel until you finally experience a night of actual good sleep? Also, once a lot of weight is lost, wouldn't the apnea (potentially) go away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just received my reports and was told the CPAP company should contact me in 4 weeks. UGGHHHH. Their slow process is agonizing. How is your process going?

The company providing the equipment (Medigy) contacted me today and took a payment. I guess that gets the ball rolling, but I have no idea what the time frame is.

wordygirl74 45 Posted February 14, 2013 I survived mine but hardly slept! First the room got terribly hot so I had to call them in to fix it. Then I kicked off a leg sensor and they had to come in. They came in and woke me at 4:30am to go home. I know I didn't sleep more than 4 hours. All they told me was I didn't snore and they got the readings they needed but I haven't heard anything back from them or my surgeons office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said most sleep issues would be resolved with the weight loss so it was up to me if I got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xsammy 27 Posted February 15, 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, 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
