I was given my bi pap at a skinny stage of my life. I don't wear mine right now because i tend to have air leak into my stomach and cause terrible pain. I talked to the pulmonary people when i had surgery and told them what goes on. But my levels are only very high because I'm a shallow breather. But since I've lost some weight i don't snore like i used to. I just need to find another sleep Dr who will work with my disorder and listen to me about that instead of yelling at me for not wearing my mask.

I last saw my pulm in January so it's getting closer to time. I'd be thrilled to get off the cumbersome thing. Idk if it will ever happen as honestly I wasn't as heavy as some and I still had severe sleep apnea. My pressure is set of 15 and my RDI on my testing was at 60!! I think it's probably gotten as better cause like u I've heard my snoring is alot better. That and sometimes now I am thinking it's waking me up. My surgeon said that could be a possible sign it indeed is improving. Glad u get me about it. I wanna be at my best and use it but geez it's becoming a bigger pain now

Yeah that totally sucks. My main complaint is I don't want to keep having to go back and forth to a sleep lab to have my pressure titrated multiple times. My husband leaves alot and we are military so I can't just go spend nights at their sleep center. They refused to lower the pressure down without a new study

Used to do a combo of ambien and lorazapan and it stopped' date=' Trazadone does not work, ect. I inherited my mothers aunts sleep disorder. My sleep apnea dr said ooh i should be sleeping easy with my bi pap, hell no it does not help. My mind does not shut down, when i do sleep i don't hit rem until its way to late.

That sucks. I just mostly cant sleep cuz my brain keeps going. Sometimes I wrife stuff down in the middle of the night to try to gef it off my mind. Trazadone makes my legs so jumpy I had to stop it.

Painted my fencing and both porches today. Took me 4 hrs non stop, except for Water breaks. Looks so good, but I am so sore. I should know better, but once I got started, I couldnt stop! ;) tomorrow will probably be a day of rest as I probably wont be able to move! Weighed in at 264 this am, which is down 3 lbs since yesterday. Dont get it but I'll take it! ;) down 39 since surgery 4/22, and 74 total! Bought a xl (18/20) shirt today, and xl yoga pants. Loving that. My husband said im not allowed out of the house in the pants tho. Said I looked too good in them. I love my man!

Melatonin does not work for me. I'm an odd ball i guess. My pt Dr asked me today when I'm heading to the mayo since be told me most of my issues are not weight related way before i had the surgery.

      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.
