Goodbye C-Pap!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so happy to be able to say goodbye to my C-Pap machine! I saw my Pulmonologist today and she discontinued my C-Pap -

woo!hoo! :whoo::clap2::whoo::clap2:

I am down 54 pounds, my diabetes is gone, my blood pressure is normal and she said she is 99% sure my sleep apnea is gone!

I have to admit I haven't been using it faithfully, I kept feeling like I couldn't breathe and ripping the mask off in the middle of the night for the past few months! But now, I don't have to worry about it because I don't have to use it anymore!!!!!! :whoo::clap2::whoo:

I'm just a little excited, can you tell? :eyebrows: I just wanted to share my good news with people who would understand!

Thanks Quadmom!

It helped a lot when I first started using it and I definitely slept and felt better, but it is a great feeling to not have to worry about it anymore!

Just wait and see, in no time at all you'll be on here posting you don't need yours anymore either and we can do a little happy dance

:whoo::clap2::whoo: together to Celebrate for you too!

Take care! :)

Congrats Stacy! I also use a CPAP and cannot wait until I can toss mine too. sleeping with the mask and dealing with the air leaks and tangled hose is a pain in the butt. My pressure is pretty low (6 cm), so I am hoping I can lose enough weight by the end of the year to ditch it!

Thanks! Heh, gotta love those air leaks and tangled hoses, lol! :faint:

I'll bet you do lose enough to ditch your machine before the end of the year, and then we'll do a happy dance :whoo::clap2::whoo: for you too, lol -- heck we can throw a tossing out the C-pap party! I'll bring the margaritas! :hungry:

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
