Not yet. I'm hoping to get off mine. I really don't like it. My surgery date is October 25th. Finding out that I needed a CPAP machine is one of my major motivations to get the surgery.

Oh no! My surgery just last week but I was hoping that once I dropped some weight I would be able to come off of my cpap. I am still hoping. 😄

Bummer, proudgrammy. I just got word that I need CPAP. Surgery isn't for a few more months, I am also really hoping its not a permanent thing. Oh well, at least I'll get a good night's sleep!

I had my sleeve surgery a year ago and in May had a new sleep study. I was told at this point for me it is genetic and I will be on the CPAP. I am down 84 pounds. My Dr said most do come off it after they loose a lot of weight.

I have mild sleep apnea and sleep study figures I can get off it once I lose a bit. I don't honestly care, I'm taking myself off it within 2 weeks after my surgery. I HATE IT.

Had surgery 10/03/17, still using CPAP, tried not using it a few nights after surgery, but woke up with headache, I'll use it till my primary tells me I won't need it, hopefully when I lose most of my weight. A friend of mine after full recovery overcame sleep apnea, asthma, diabetes, and HBP, so I have hope.

I can relate BunnyJean I HATE MINE TOO!! I haven't worn mine in two weeks. It makes me feel worse the next day rather than better. I am returning it once surgery is over. I just am making sure they don't make me bring it to the hospital with me and then if I tell them I don't have it anymore I worry they may end up cancelling my surgery so I'm hanging onto it just in case. My surgery is 10/24.

My surgery was just scheduled today for Nov 8th. I need to use mine because my insurance "rents" it and I need to be compliant with it or I will have to pay for it. Starting Jan 1 I would need to rent it myself for $80/month. I said NO WAY IN HECK. As soon as I can bring it back I will. I will talk to my nurse who I will meet with like the week before surgery. I will ask if I truly need to bring it to hospital. If I do, I do. But yup after that. Last night I didn't wear it. I was extremely tired and went to bed late due to work and I said...screw this LOL I will be 100% compliant with everything else. And I'll probably be compliant with the capap from now on too. Last night was my rebel moment hahahaha

I was told at hospital that if I had forgotten my cpap they would supplied one for me. They make you use it.

I'm pre-op but was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea a little over a year ago. I hate wearing the cpap. But I get headaches if I don't wear it. My doc said most patients who lose 20% of their weight stop having apnea so I'm hoping and praying that's the case for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
