Hope everyone is doing well here! Forgive me for I am a newbie! :)

I started out going to a seminar in March and had my consultation April 11. I was told that I would need to have an EGD, evaluation and they really wanted me to have a sleep study. I am scheduled for the evaluation May 6 and EGD May 7. I just got a call that they wanted to do the sleep study TONIGHT!!! Seriously?!?! Talk about moving fast!!! I'm really excited about getting things done so quickly though.

I opted to do the study Friday instead due to work being so crazy right now. I'm really struggling with the idea I may have sleep apnea. I know it's ok but I'm such a light sleeper that I'm worried about the noise of the CPAP. I'm really hoping that by losing weight it will help me with not having to have a machine. I know there are a lot of other people that do just fine with it. I just don't really want one. Anyone else feel this way?!?! After you have a CPAP do you ever not have to have it?!?! Just curious...and nervous!!!

My husband's CPAP is barely audible. He's completely adjusted to it and it's made a huge difference in his life. You won't be such a light sleeper anymore if you need one... you'll rest much better!

My boyfriend has one and the difference between his quality of sleep before and now is amazing. The noise on the newer ones are minimal. Once you get adjusted and there is an adjustment stage of a few nights, you will wonder how you slept without it. Don't worry

Thanks for the welcome!

Just freaking out about something new I guess. How easy/hard is it to travel with? I'm so excited about the weight loss journey that I plan on traveling more after I hit my goal. I would love to take a cruise as a reward! ;)

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

      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! 😞
