I took mine, but I never used it while in the hospital

I took mine and used it. I slept in the recliner in my hospital room and put the CPAP on the tray that they would place my food on.

My surgeon required I had the CPAP with me the day of surgery. When I got to my room I never even gave it a thought since I was so out of it. I ended up using it for maybe an hour or so.

I don’t use a cpap but I do recall that being on the list of things to bring to hospital.

I was told to bring my mask and hose, but not the machine. I didn't use it at all (I was in and out the same day). I did sleep and somehow I managed to sleep without it, and apparently I wasn't snoring.

Yes, take your CPAP. If you are kept overnight you will use it.

Thanks for all replies! I will take mine. I've been using mine for years every night. I am one of those that had apnea before gaining weight.. not hopeful that mine will go away after surgery :).

Lucky you. I hope it's because you no longer have apnea and not that you just quit using your CPAP.

You should call your DME (durable medical equipment) provider who sold you the CPAP so they can replace it with one that doesn't.
