I have my 1st consult jan9 wgere the doc will explain the options, im scared but i know i need it, i have severe sleep apnea and driving after work is a risk every night for me. I need help

Just to encourage you, I started about your weight with moderate-severe sleep apnea. I was able to discontinue my cpap about 3 months ago (15 months post-op) and I feel great! It's the best feeling, sleeping without that damned thing AND waking up rested.

I have severe case of sleep apnea and it feels like my cpap isnt helping, even have it at max pressure, its pretty frustrating, im hoping with this wls im able to sleep btter, breath better overall feel better!!

I chose the sleeve for multiple reasons... mainly because it’s basically helping with Portion Control which is a problem I fought before I had surgery. Mainly because the RNY requires Vitamins to be taken everyday for the rest of your life and there are a lot of long term health risks associated with it.

But with every surgery there are potential complications and your surgeon will go over it with you before they proceed. I’ve never had a problem with GERD Or acid reflux so I was a good candidate for the sleeve. My sister in law got the RNY and she’s had dumping multiple times this past year. She says it’s the worst feeling ever.
