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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
