TiffyE reacted to KristenLe in Can't use CPAP after surgery
How much weight have you lost so far? I believe even the slightest weight change can result in a need for an adjustment. Also - what style mask do you have? I wouldn't change the setting yourself - especially if you have severe sleep apnea - my machine doesn't even let me change it. Look into getting a chin strap to help keep your mouth closed and if your machine has a humidity setting change it to see if it helps. I went to a sleep Clinic for my testing and fitting so they've been very helpful to me (and easier to get through without going through pulmonologist). August is too far away to not be able to use your machine.

TiffyE got a reaction from KristenLe in Sleeved April 21, 2016
Well I finally did it, took me over 10 yrs to commit, but I decided on the Gastric sleeve last October and took the steps necessary to make the surgery a reality! I have had a slow start, because I had some complications found in surgery, but was taken care of during my sleeve surgery. I have lost 10 lbs so far and hope when I am cleared for exercise that I will loose a little more quickly ????
I started at 242 in October and the day of my surgery weighed 205. I am now 195 and very excited to be under 200????
I hope to find others that were sleeved around the same time and can't wait to share stories and get ideas from each other!!
