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?

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.

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.

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
