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 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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
