Snoring

[SarahSleeve 170]

Who stopped snoring after having surgery and losing weight? I know everyone is different but I'm just curious.

I did...

I now no longer have anyone waking me in the night or complaining in the morning...

Partly because my snoring (which really was bad) has all but disappeared...

And partly because I now sleep alone...

I know...

Sad isn't it...

I sleep alone most nights lately, too. Problem is, I'm married. :/ My snoring forces my husband to the couch a few nights a week so he can get a good night's rest.

Makes me feel seriously crappy. I am so so so hoping this surgery helps my snoring subside.

Do you have sleep apnea?

Do you have sleep apnea?

I don't know. I've never had a sleep study. I'm not sure if they'll require one during my pre-op (I'm just starting the process).

I know that in the past when I got down about 50lbs from where I am now, my husband told me I basically stopped snoring. But then I regained and it's worse than ever.

My husband says that I stopped Snoring and sadly he would also sleep in another room sometimes to get some rest.

You will most likely need a sleep study before surgery. I would ask about it now and get a referral from your PCP so you don't have a delay (sometimes it can take a while to schedule and get report back). I would guess that you have sleep apnea.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea because they require a sleep study.I still have my cpap machine 3 months post op.I actually like it.It has a built in humidifier....

My heavy weight created sleep apneas problem, I sleep alone but my siblings and my parents could hear me in the whole house. When I started the sleeve process, I had a sleep test and they found out about it. Each time I would sleep without the CPAP, my family told me "You didn't use your machine, did you?" and now when I take a nap without it during weekends or so, no one hears me, so I am kinda glad, apparently I snore way less than before.

But the problem is that I got used to the machine but after the only night I spent without my CPAP, I felt tired like never before. I think I am going to wait for a few pounds to drop out before I take a new sleep test.

I snored really loud and it was making my husband miserable. I got a mouth guard made by a dentist that pushed my lower jaw forward and that really helped. I no longer have to wear it and my husband says he doesn't hear snoring at night. I did have a sleep study years ago and was told I had mild apnea but did not need cpap.

I quit snoring after losing about 30 pounds. My wife says she sometimes pokes me now to make sure I'm alive since I sleep so quietly now!
