I'm 5 days post op and I use a cpap machine and it has been bloating my sleeve so much I can't sleep. Could it be stretching my sleeve and causing leaks? Has anyone else go through this?

I have had no issues caused b my C Pap machine at all. Not sure how it could stretch your sleeve, but maybe you should contact your surgeon.

It probably isn't but it is crazy how much it hurts. I can't wait to be off of the cpap.

I agree- had surgery in March. The doctor wants to wait until August and have another sleep test. I doubt I will get off- I have always had breathing issues at nigh, even when I was younger and thinner. I am 66 and a widow so no one has to see me wear it........at least for now LOL.

I was off the CPAP at 8 days. It started waking me up blowing air with too much force. Maybe you need to see if you need a lower level now.

Same here...I've snored my whole life too. There is a dentist here in the metroplex that xrays your jaw and can tell if it is due to weight or an obstructed airway and he can make a mouthpiece that supposedly works.

That's a good idea- my doctor told me to call him if I felt to much air or pressure. He was very concerned about that. My machine automatically regulates itself to the pressure I need- or at least it is supposed to.

Did you just lower your pressure or did you stop using it?
