When were you allowed to stop using your CPAPA after surgery?

After you loose a considerable amount of weight you really should have another sleep study. I lost 70 lbs & still have to use one! I’ve been using one for 18 years ?‍♀️

I'm down 60 lbs and am still having apnea events according to my machine. Once I get to goal, I may look into another sleep study.

Oh lord. I find it more difficult to sleep with it on now for some reason. I can’t stand it now. Before the surgery I was in love with it. Lol

Makes sense. I will just have to be patient of course. Thanks friends ❤️

I underwent a sleep study as a requirement of this process and as a result have now been using an APAP machine for the past month. A friend of mine had his surgery two years ago and while he no longer physically needs to use his machine having lost 175lbs, he told me he loves sleeping with it and continues to use it.

I am 7 months post op and I'm still using my cpap. I have to do another Sleep Study in October before my pulmonologist makes that call. I am already down 70 pounds. But I will wait and see what the doc says.
