    Yes I'll admit that I snickered! You are over thinking this a bit. If it can be mashed with a fork and it goes through then you are good to go.

    60 pounds was what it took for me. One of the best comments was a few weeks ago. I got out of my vehicle at a gas station and the manager said "where the F--- is the rest of you?!".

    You know, there are a lot of us rednecks who are really very intellectual. We just like boots, jeans, John Deere hats and guns. Excuse me. I missed my Oxford comma.

    Really depends on how you are feeling and how "active" you are in the process. I think I had sex around 5 days post-op, but definitely took it slow and easy.

    Yeppers! I didn't do much beyond my normal routine for the first month post op. My surgery was 8/29/16.

    Hormone imbalance caused by weight loss is super common. You aren't nut balls, you're normal. You will need to adjust your meds and you'll be right as rain.

    For most insurance you have to fail cpap by not having your AHI corrected using the cpap for 60 days at least 4 hours per night. If you were initially prescribed a bipap that is because in a sleep lab setting they were unable to correct your AHI and your sleep study would show failure of the cpap first.

    Definitely the ramp button. To lower the pressure requires a new rx from your doctor. Your supplier can not legally lower the pressure, they have to supply according to the rx.
    FYI you don't get oxygen from a cpap. All you are breathing is 21% room air. When you go to sleep the muscles around your airway relax causing an obstruction. The cpap (Constant Positive Airway Pressure) reinflates your airway to keep it open. Picture it like a balloon.
    Your ears popping is most likely because eustachian tube is swollen in your ears. The popping is occurring because of pressure in your ears just like when you change elevation. If the problem continues you really need to see an ENT.
    FYI #2 most insurance companies follow Medicare guidelines for cpap which is you need to use it 4 hours per night for 30 days in a 90 day period.

    highfunctioningfatman reacted to Brandeis in Non-Scale Victory: AIRPLANES!   
    I've lost more than 50 pounds, but I swear this is the first time I've REALLY felt it: sitting on an airplane and easily putting on the seatbelt. Not only did I put it on [something I couldn't always do before QQ] but I put it on without tugging, pulling, or "sucking it in". And then, when I dropped my tray table, it didn't immediately bounce back up off my belly -- NAY! THERE WAS ROOM BETWEEN THE TOP OF MY THIGHS AND THE TRAY TABLE!
    I can't remember the last time I could use a tray table on an airplane. It's dumb, but it's horribly exciting.
