I'm new to this site, but wanted to share my journey. After being diagnosed with chronic sleep apnea in May of this year, I knew that I had to do something about my weight. I already had diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and the sleep apnea diagnosis sent me over the edge. After talking to my primary care doctor and getting a referral, I made an appointment to see Dr. Amin.

Welcome! Sleep apnea diagnosis was the last straw for me too. When they told me my breathing was compromised 56 times an hour I cried the whole day because I knew I did that to myself. I also had high blood pressure. I'm happy to report that after my surgery on July 29th, I am no longer on bp meds and off the cpap machine already!!
