I snore. REALLY BADLY! Like a beaver chopping wood my husband says. I don't have apnea or any other problems and my GP says it's likely because I am overweight. I hope surgery cures it. Has anyone else been "cured" of snoring after losing a lot of weight?

Before RNY surgery my snoring would keep my wife awake all night long. She has been complaining about my snoring for several years. Within a couple weeks after surgery, my snoring went away. I am 19 months post op and it has never returned. I find my wife sometimes hovering over me in the middle of night staring at me. She is trying to determine if I am still alive, because my breathing is so quite.

I snored really bad before surgery, now not at all. My husband used to wake me up nightly to turn over.

I actually had a follow up appointment with my sleep Doc this morning. I've been on a CPAP for several years. However, since I've lost weight (75lbs. since Oct. 8 surgery) the pressure was waaaay too high. So, I went to see the doc just before New Years hoping to have he pressure adjusted. He told me it was likely my apnea was gone. I had another sleep study last week and lie I said, met with him this am. He said I was not showing any signs of OSA. This was great news because I thought this would happen around this summer. He told me I didn't need the CPAP any more. Was really great to hear! Good luck to you but I would strongly suggest going to a sleep specialist and having a sleep study.

Just wondering, how do you know you don't have Obstructive sleep Apnea? If you are overweight and snoring it is quite possible you do unless you've had a sleep study. And your GP wouldn't be the one to ask, a Pulmonologist who's boarded in Sleep Medicine would be. I can tell you, having dealt with OSA myself, it is very important to treat. Puts you at higher risk for all sorts of comorbid conditions...diabetes, high blood pressure, daytime sleepiness, depression, memory loss, headaches, stroke. Anyway, I'm no doc but if definitely keep an eye on that snoring. Good luck!

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
