I did this a while back and am so glad I finally did! I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea, now have a bipap machine and wouldn't want to be without it. I feel so much better!

Good luck to you.

How did the surgery go with severe sleeep apnea. I was recently diagnosed and I'm kind of nervous about being sedated.

I had my first sleep study on Monday. Went into thinking I was probably ok, since most have told me that I don't really snore. Apparently I was wrong - was brought in Tuesday for a second study with a CPAP, and today they called and told me they would be sending me one. I have to admit I did feel more rested after the study with the CPAP - I guess it's one of those things that you don't really know you have and how it can make you feel until you finally experience a night of actual good sleep?

Also, once a lot of weight is lost, wouldn't the apnea (potentially) go away?

I would hope so!! My pulm specialist's office is taking forever. I had my first sleep study the first week of January. I just received my reports and was told the CPAP company should contact me in 4 weeks. UGGHHHH. Their slow process is agonizing. How is your process going?

I'm not sure actually. The company providing the equipment (Medigy) contacted me today and took a payment. I guess that gets the ball rolling, but I have no idea what the time frame is.

I survived mine but hardly slept! First the room got terribly hot so I had to call them in to fix it. Then I kicked off a leg sensor and they had to come in. They came in and woke me at 4:30am to go home. I know I didn't sleep more than 4 hours. All they told me was I didn't snore and they got the readings they needed but I haven't heard anything back from them or my surgeons office.

My surgeons office told me that if the sleep study revealed apnea it was my decision if I wanted the CPAP. They said most sleep issues would be resolved with the weight loss so it was up to me if I got it.

I have had a CPAP since 2007...was able to quit using it 3 yrs ago when I lost 85 pounds. Needed to start using it again when I gained back...so yes, sleep apnea can go away with weight loss! I can tell you exactly what weight I need to be at for mine to disappear. Can't wait to get rid of that thing again for good!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
