I have had sleep apena since 2004. I recently went for another study and I now may not need it anymore. Drs have said that sleep apena gets better after the surgery.

Good Luck!!!!

Regarding OSA and the surgery, for obese people OSA is associated with fat accumulation causing airway obstruction. For people who were not obese their whole lives, it would undoubtedly be a noticeable change in their daily lives when it comes to sleeping. The reduced amount of oxygen due to OSA means less likelihood of a good nights sleep, which means people will tend to be more tired as a result.

Part of losing weight is the body burning off fat and Proteins, so the reduced portion size aids the lifestyle changes made to reduce fat throughout the entire body, which should, in a normal circumstance, ease up the airway obstruction, if not resolve it (and thus the OSA).

I had my sleeve done Feb. 28th and I still use my CPAP. I have fallen asleep without it and I slept fine, no snoring and wasn't tired the next day.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
