Did the band cure your snoring?



Recommended Posts

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

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 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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
