AWESOME news!! My apnea went from 48 apneas/hr to 6 Hypoapneas/hr. Pulmonolgist said as long as it's over 5, ins. will pay and I could use CPAP or not. I tried for two weeks to go without CPAP, and slept HORRIBLE! I think I'm just so used to it, it actually relaxes me, I put it on and it's like aaaaahhhhhh!!!!!......

Congratulations!! My doc says I can take a new sleep test after losing about 15-20 more lbs. I may be running the victory lap like you then!

The first month after surgery in August, my CPAP machine was blowing way too much air up my nose that I felt like I was choking

I felt fine without it, but went back to see my sleep specialist. We discovered my brain stops me from inhaling naturally. I no longer have obstructive sleep apnea, but have central apnea.And actually, I am okay with all of it. My machine has been my friend. And now that I've lost 70 pounds, I sleep even better and feel extra rested the next day. Who knows, I might skip using it now and then.
