Has anyone been diagnose with it and had to b treated before u have the surgery ?I have I'm kinda upset and grateful at the same time cause something could have went wrong while I was under while surgery not knowing this.

That was one of the first tests they had me do when I started investigating the surgery, i was diagnosed in June and have been sleeping with the machine ever sense. I feel SO much better already, my moods better, I have more energy, and I'm more relaxed. Surgery is Oct 31, I hope I won't have to use the machine too long after the surgery, but I'm glad I've had it so far, it really improved my day to day life!

I was diagnosed in my preop testing, but I don't need it now after the weight loss. I just did my last sleep study and it came back normal! My neurologist said once you get under 200 lbs you will probably have it go away

Hi, I have sleep apnea and still hate the mask but am also so grateful for the treatment. I only manage to wear mine for about 4 hours a night, but it has still made a big difference. I have to take mine into hospital with me and am not looking forward to wearing it, but it is for my good so will obey. Really hope I can stop using it soon, best wishes , :-)

Hi Sheon-I had surgery in July and I had to bring my mask for sleep after surgery. Now I am sleeping much better and I no longer use the mask. So there is hope!

I sleep on my stomach straight thru the night. I have a follow up appt at the end of Oct to let the doctor know I am not using anymore. I am off of the majority of my meds per doctor's orders so I know I am going in the right direction.

I was told to drop certain medications after two months and not a week. I had surgery in July. Now I know after seeing my doctor that I am moving in the right direction. I am so looking forward to getting off all meds!

Being treated for sleep apnea made me a new person, I feel like I was in a tired headachy haze and now I am rested and alert. Being on CPAP treatment even reduced my edema in my legs. CPAP plus surgery and now I feel amazing. Be glad they found it and give yourself a well deserved nights rest :-)
