Did the band cure your snoring?

[Brandy~ 2]

When I was younger and thinner I didn't snore. I would say I started when I was about 25.... about the same time I hit more than 200 pounds. I have never been diagnosed with sleep apnea. I am told I snore loud though sometimes.

I guess my question is has anyone noticed since they began to lose weight that they have quit snoring?

Hey! I'm not banded yet but I can't say....I hope so. I had a sleep study but I dont have sleep apnea which is surprising because I snore VERY VERY bad. Thanks for posting this, I anxiously awaiting people's responses.

When I met my hubby he was 165 and didn't snore. Then he gained weight and when he got to about 215 he started snoring BADDDDDDDD.. He got up to 255 and is now down to 238 (doing this south beach diet with me). I guess I'll find out if it will go away when he gets back down to the low 200's. But, I'm definitely thinking it's possible.

....seems like it has....

also got me off the nose hose patrol....10 years wearing that wretched harness that was possible only because it made my days so much better...

And now that I am >>>getting CLOSER<<< to being 'not obese' (only another 25#) I'll be where I've never been before....

Congrats thats a major accomplishment on the weight. I hope I can report that in the year or so to come :tongue2:

Somedays I am just really tired so I am wondering if it is the snoring and this is an answer to yet another problem :smile:

Can't say the band itself stopped my snoring, but the weight loss did....DH says it is quiet again........as if he could tell through the chain saw noise coming from him!!! And he is normal weight. Hope mine stays gone!!!

My snoring has gone. My hubby has put on a little weight and his snoring is terrible. I'm hoping that he'll eventually take off that weight so I can sleep! lol

[Kat817 19]

Marimaru---my DH has snored forever----and he can rattle the rafters!!! I used to shake him, or nudge him, and huff and puff and get all pissy---because he was keeping me awake!!!

Then about a year and a half ago---he had some serious medical problems, and we were told he would not make it.

When I would come home alone at night with him in the hospital, I cried missing that sound!!!

I still find it comforting, it assures me he is right there!!!

I agree weight loss would be good for him--as it is for all of us---but try to make his snoring a sign that he is in the right place at the right time. sleeping in bed with you--------not off carousing in a bar or something even worse!!!!

My DH's snoring actually scares our granddaughter!!

I snored like a train.. now its not as bad, so I've been told by hubby.. which I'm glad.. Its embarrassing to go off with a bunch and nobody can sleep, becuz the train is on the track !! LOL

I was a really bad snorer with severe sleep apnea. (I never used the CPAP though)

My boyfriend says I don't snore AT ALL now. I sleep much better and I never wake up with headaches any more.

My DH stopped snoring with a small weight loss of 10kg. He's still well overweight, getting banded in fact, but just a small weight loss a year or two back was enough to stop it.

My snoring stopped post-op. It came as such a big shock to DH that a week post-op he woke me up, by shaking me in the middle of the night and screaming. He thought I was dead. Anyway now I only snore if I'm congested, which is pretty normal.
