Sleep apnea almost cured



Recommended Posts

I'm totally off my blood pressure medicine and my average daily BP is 117/75. I went to the sleep doctor this week and I am almost cured of sleep apnea. We monitored my oxygen level overnight and while still technically I exhibit minor sleep apnea, it is a considerable improvement over what it was last year. The doctor has no doubt that after another 15-20 I should be back at normal levels. That certainly adds to the motivation.

Very cool that you are one of the lucky few that are able to leave CPAP behind, Bill. Sounds like you're doing great. Keep up the good work.

That's great, I want to be able to leave my C-pap behind also.

Keep up the good work:smile2:

I still use my cpap, but if I dont use it, I don't feel the tiredness that I did feel prior togetting my cpap. I have lost 65 lbs.The thing is. My DH snores badly (he actually needs the cpap now), so whenI put on my mask, I am aslep within a cople minutes. So I continue to use because of his snoring. Ther are some nights I dont use. I don't pack and take with me overnight anymore. I work at exerciseing min 1.5 hr /day so I am tired whenI go to bed. :crying:

If we didn't live so far apart, we could smash them together. Actually, you can't sell them because they are a prescription, maybe their is a charity you can donate them to?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
