Apnea & Gastric Sleeve??

QueenTiff · July 28, 2017

I was recently diagnosed with sleep apnea. I'm pretty young (26) so it was difficult for doctors to take me seriously. I always woke up with a horrible headache and would trip over everything and can barely function in the morning. This has been going on for years and I thought it was just normal for me and I just wasn't a morning person. I'm still waiting for my CPAP and I'm hoping this will help me feel better. This diagnosis makes me qualify for the sleeve. My BMI is 37. I had my appointment with my surgeon and he said using the machine will increase my chances for success with WLS. They also have a theory that my sleep apnea caused my rapid weight gain because I had no change in my eating habits. Best luck to you on your journey. [emoji3]

You know I'm pretty young like yourself (23yrs) and I also just found out I have sleep apnea. My case is not severe as everyone and I been using my machine for two days. I'll be honest it's a lot to get use too. I was told I should lose more weight now that I have a machine as well. I don't know how long it takes the machine to work but my mom had a pretty bad case of sleep apnea and she seems to be doing a lot better. So I say good luck!
