My BMI is just 32 the bariatric surgeon just considered me as a candidate for lap band because i have sleep apnea already. I cant use CPAP because i always sleep in the ofc and i just cant see myself carrying it everytime i have to sleep and its really troublesome. My sleep doctor says that after my OSA surgery i will likely lose weight coz i hve to eat liquid foods after surgery but based on forums that ive been to they are saying that OSA surgery hurts like hell. I am just confused, which procedure is more invasive and which procedure is more effective for treating obesity and sleep apnea at the same time:faint:

Hi! I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and i dont know whether to use lap band to alleviate my sleep apnea or to use UPPP or Radiodophrem (OSA surgery) to deal with the sleep apnea. My sleep doctor is saying that since i have severe sleep apnea there is a chance that even with the lap band it wouldnt help with my apnea. What do i do should i try the OSA surgery 1st or the lap band first:help::help:
