cpap or bipap use

[carstanger 346]

How long did you use the bipap or cpap machine after surgery?? Were you able to go off it completely? When did you have your sleep study done. I am almost 6 months out and have lost 60 pounds. Have 35 more to go. I have been using it for about 9 years. Thanks! Carol

Im preop my surgery is July 3rd. I spoke to my Plumonary Dr about that and he said i need to be tested 9 mo after surgery and that test would determine if I would be off my cpap. But I think it would be much safe to check with your dr. to see what is best for you . good luck!!!
