i understand your concern beleive me i have been on cpap for about a year now. for years i have lived with snoring and not getting get sleep and my mom and others trying to tell me that something is wrong with with me but always dident want to believe it after alot of pressure tho i decided i was going to do the sleep study just to prove to my mom especially that nothing is wrong with me lol much to my surprise after the study the nurse called me and told me i had to come back in to get fitted fro cpap she told my my case was the worse they had seen in a long time and that no wonder i live daily with headaches she let me know that my oxygen level dropped down to 86% when i slept and that i stoped breathing 96 times every hour she let me know i was heading for a stroke if i dident get it taken care of . it took a while to get use to sleeping with it but know its part of my daily life and i can tell when i dont use it my surgery was not hinderd in anyway because of haveing sleep apnea i go for surgery on the 25th of this month as a matter of fact it has helped i have been able to lower my pressure on my machine due to my weight loss i have had before surgery my blood pressure as improved and i feel well rested now when i awake from sleep dont fret over using cpap i love my machine everything will go well with you if you have any questions feel free to mail me good luck in your wl journey
