Thanks so much.

My sleep apnea has been cured. How you ask...I wear a CPAP. How does it work? It keeps you awake so you can't sleep. No sleep =No sleep apnea. :scared0: LOL Seriously though, after 3 nights with that thing, I am so freakin tired. I can actually handle the air. But having that thing strapped to my head is horrible. For the air not to leak, it has to be on rather tight and it's so uncomfortable. They said after about 3 weeks, that you start really feeling the results and waking up refreshed. I can't imagine 3 weeks like this. UGH I even took a sleep aid last night but all that did was make me feel more tired this morning because I didn't "sleep it off". Does anyone know how to make this more bareable?

I know how you feel. My date is getting close too. Best of luck.

Good for you! I totally understand what you mean about doing it for YOU. I think too many woman take on the roll of caretaker and forget that they themselves need to be taken care of too. Not to mention that if you don't, you eventually won't be able to care for others because your body won't let you. Let us know how the progress goes and best of luck.

Congrats on getting a date for your surgery. I am having mine on June 4th and can hardly wait. Best of luck to you.

Glad you're home. Best of luck getting rid of those gas pains. I know you were so excited and ready for this. I'm glad it's finally done so you can be on the road to a healthier you. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care and keep us posted please.

You weren't lying when you said it was a huge list, LOL. Thanks, I bookmarked this page for future use.

Cherries FTW huh? I will keep that in mind if I need it. I know several peeps were looking for some relief, I hope they find this thread! :crying:

I'm hoping for a size 10 when all is said and done. I think that is realistic, however it's been so long since I wore that size. I wonder how much age, etc will play a part, because I know my body is different. Oh well, have to wait and see. But, yes just imagining it is very exciting.

Sorry you are having trouble sleeping well. I am a side sleeper too. Best of luck for a speedy recovery.

Thanks so much. I didn't know the info was downloadable, is that on all machines or specific ones?

Gratz on your outstanding achievement. Have fun this summer you deserve it.

Dang girl that's wonderful. Gratz on getting to go back to the gym and I bet even more inches are gonna drop off soon with the workouts. I am so looking forward to getting to where you are.

Welcome. Such a long road, but you sound like you are ready for the next step. Gotta tell you I love the "1st first pic thing" LOL. Best of luck to you.

Sounds like you are making progress, glad to hear it.

Welcome! I don't really have any advice for you as I haven't been sleeved yet. But, I wanted to welcome you. I get sleeved 4 days before you and am so ready for it.

Obese to normal in 17 weeks OMG! That's amazing. Gratz on your success.

I have a little over a week till I start my pre-op diet. Fortunately I only have to do it one week though. I understand how excited you are, so am I. I can hardly wait. Hang in there, you'll be done before you know it.

Gratz on making your decision, and good luck with your consults. Keep us posted of your progess.

WTG Rob, nice progress.

I went for my 2nd sleep study and to get fitted for the CPAP. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, but it's no picnic either. When I first heard I would have to get it, I thought I would not really use it. But, the tech explained to me how it works, and how much better folks feel after using it. I figure it's worth a shot, even if it takes some getting used to. The insurance paid all but $300 of it. So, I should at least try to get my $300 worth out of it before tossing it aside. LOL I know after I have a significant weight loss I probably won't need it anymore, but that's a ways off so, here goes. On the other hand we'll see how a feel about it in a few nights.

Gratz on your surgery and the wedding. Best wishes.

Awesome results, WOW! Gratz on doing so well, and good luck on the rest of your journey. This is my support group too, so always glad to hear how others are doing.

Sweet! That is such a milestone for you. Keep on rockin that sleeve.

I'm so glad you finally were able to get the leak test done and glad you are home now. Gratz on the weight loss. 17 lbs! Sweet. Best of luck on your recovery and continued weight loss.
