Hi all, I just wanted to spread some encouraging words with those who have sleep apnea and use a c-pap. I am down almost 80 pounds and have not used mine in a week and a half. It has been WONDERFUL!!! One night I did wake up not breathing but I was sleeping on my back. If I sleep on my side or stomach I am fine. What a nice thing to have happen in under six months of banding, not wearing that stupid mask anymore. EVER!!! :whoo:

Congrats to you! A huge NSV!

Me, too! Great feeling, isn't it!!:clap2:

Go Deanna, Go Deanna!

You're a rock star! And really sharing these NSV's is so important for the ones coming up behind us. It gives so much hope.

I remember getting my CPAP and being depressed for weeks. The improved sleep helped with that though LOL. I packed mine away sooner than I should have, but getting rid of it was really important to me.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is fabulous news. Good job.

How exciting! Congrats to you :clap2: I get banded on Oct 31, and packing away my little sleep companion, "Darth Vader" for good is a major goal for me. Glad to see it can be done!

I does feel great!!! Although it sure is quiet at night now.....

I have been also notice a change sinc ebeing banded. I go to the sleep doctor in a couple of weeks and will see what he has to say with the reports of before being banded and after. Glad to see things going well for you.

Way to go!! Changes like that are great. Donna

That is wonderful!...I was just diagnosed and prepared to start a CPAP machine Friday. My Lap Band surgery is scheduled Oct. 24th and it is good to learn that with surgery there is hope..
