Off My C-pap!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I just wanted to spread some encouraging words with those who have sleep apnea and use a c-pap. I am down almost 80 pounds and have not used mine in a week and a half. It has been WONDERFUL!!! One night I did wake up not breathing but I was sleeping on my back. If I sleep on my side or stomach I am fine. What a nice thing to have happen in under six months of banding, not wearing that stupid mask anymore. EVER!!! :whoo:

Go Deanna, Go Deanna!

You're a rock star! And really sharing these NSV's is so important for the ones coming up behind us. It gives so much hope.

I remember getting my CPAP and being depressed for weeks. The improved sleep helped with that though LOL. I packed mine away sooner than I should have, but getting rid of it was really important to me.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How exciting! Congrats to you :clap2: I get banded on Oct 31, and packing away my little sleep companion, "Darth Vader" for good is a major goal for me. Glad to see it can be done!

That is wonderful!...I was just diagnosed and prepared to start a CPAP machine Friday. My Lap Band surgery is scheduled Oct. 24th and it is good to learn that with surgery there is hope..

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