Hi,

In the last year since my weight has been at its highest, my husband tells me I have been snoring pretty badly and keeping him up at night. He will often wake me up to tell me. Tonight, he got upset and decided he is just going to stay up all night and is now on his computer. I have tried a mouthguard and another thing that goes in your nose. They are uncomfortable, and don't seem to help based on his report. I have also started sleeping on my side, facing away from him. I have gone for a sleep study and they did not find any sleep apnea. My surgery is scheduled for 12/11 ( thank goodness!) I am hoping that as I lose weight, the snoring will go away. Has anyone else had this problem? Has anyone found that losing weight helped the snoring?

Thanks,

Caroline

My husband snores like a freight train....I seriously wear ear plugs to bed every night.

I used to have the same problem, I had surgery 23rd October, and my other half says I've not snored since!!! I've lost 28lbs!

My husband (who snores and only has a wee beer belly) says my snoring seems to have gone away. I'm down 40 lbs since surgery. I also did not have sleep apnea and the sleep study doc estimated my snoring and sleep issues would improve as I lost weight.

Can't recommend ear plugs highly enough. I like the foam ones. Buy your husband a box and tell him things should be better by the end of December.

I have to wake my husband on a regular basis to get him to sleep on his side or stomach instead of his back (which is the worst for snoring).

Thank you all! This gives me hope.
