I am awaiting approval for surgery and I'm just curious how sleep apnea sufferers pre-surgery are doing post-op. They say it surgery can eliminate it sleep apnea abd frankly being diagnosed with it nearly a year ago was the last straw of co-morbidities for me that prompted my journey to get sleeved. As I grudgingly prepare to put my mask on tonight I'm hoping for a light at the end of the weight loss tunnel.

You know I don't know for sure but I know it's helped immensely. I was just diagnosed in March, I was exhausted all the time, frequently napped etc... I never got to over a 4 hr a night average, I rip it off in my sleep. Post op it was the same and now I rip it off around 1 hour after I fall asleep and my average is horrid. I feel great though, no napping, no exhaustion. I would guess I will be off mine by the time I hit my 1 yr diagnosis anniversary. I'll ask for a second sleep study when I get below 200#.

Sleep apnea gone for both wife and I.

I'm sleeping alot better since I had the surgery (3 weeks ago).

And yes I'm breathing alot better during the night!

No more sleep apnea for me!!!

According to my wife mine is gone.

It can resolve as you lose weight. Me, I like the CPAP sleep, so I have learned to "love" the mask that turns be into a Borg (Star Trek reference).

I was never diagnosed with it but for years as I got fatter my sleep was getting worse and worse. I woke up a lot in the middle of the night and was on sleeping medications. About 3 weeks after all those issues were gone! I always sleep through the night now.

Mine was gone after I dropped 40lbs. My husband says I don't snore, don't gasp for breath & I feel way more rested than I did before.

After 40 lbs mine is gone !!!

I just started having sleep apnea a few months before surgery and because I'm a severely light sleeper it would wake me up... In complete panic, terrified and gasping for air. As soon as I lost weight it stopped... The one and only medical condition that convinced me to get VGS.

I have lost 100 lbs but still need my CPAP. I still have hope that someday I can lose enough weight to not need it, but my hope is fading a bit....

My dad lost a ton of weight a few years ago through Weight Watchers and bike riding, like serious hundred mile bikes rides, we followed him an RV when he did a 550 mile one through Colorado.... Anyway, he never got rid of the CPAP, still has it. I hope you beat it and get rid of the dreaded CPAP someday!

I slept with Cpap for 20 years for sleep apnea and I am 4 mo. Post op less 55 lbs and no longer sleep with Cpap. It is great!

did not have sleep apnea but my wife said it completely stopped my snoring.
