Sleep Apnea

[terrilo 5]

Hi

I am in the research stage. I attend my seminar on 9/4. I was wondering for those of you with sleep apnea did it go away after your surgery? If so how long before you were able to get rid of your Cpap?

Thanks

Terri

I did not know I had sleep Apnea before I had surgery....But when I was in a coma...They discovered I had it and put me on life support....The machine would kick in when I stopped breathing...Any way

I used to wake up at night and think I had insomnia and that's why I hardly ever slept, until that time I had no idea....

Now 10 months later I sleep through the night no problem...Rarely wake up unless I have to go pee...lol

Big difference for me now.....

I. Had sleep apnea .. They repaired a large hiatal hernia during surgery and ever since I sleep like a baby and my husband says I don't snore or make a sound .. I also feel like I can breathe easier in general And swallow easier !! Best thing ever

I had sleep apnea and almost immediately when I got home from the hospital I stopped snoring. I haven't used my CPAP since about a week after my surgery. I haven't seen the dr yet to give me the "official" word but my husband would tell me if I snored even just a little and he says I don't need it anymore. Will see the dr regarding this around my 6 month mark to get another sleep study to be sure.

Thank you for the info. I can't wait to not have to sleep with a c-pap any longer.

Honestly just breathing clearer and better in general day and night .. Weird I never considered that could happen because of the hernia but I am beyond thrilled . I feel free
