I have sleep apnea and wear the CPAP mask while sleeping. I dislike it, but know it is important for achieving REM sleep, memory and waking up alive the next morning. I was wondering if anyone has heard when it goes away from losing weight, if there is a BMI average that it stops.

I found out I have it because my surgeon made me get a sleep study. My husband had noticed within the last year that I seemed to stop breathing & then snort all of a sudden. So I don't think I have had it for very long. GB

My dad wears a cpap machine, My family has aweful sinus' and narrow airways, I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea, thats another reason my surgery was approved.

According to research I've done, It will lighten up when Your face and neck start to slim out, because you won't have the fat weighing on your airways. MY DH has noticed that after my first 15lbs down my snoring lightend up. I noticed it to that I'm dead to the world about 20 mins after I close my eyes. in the 7 weeks since my surgery, I can honestly say that I've only had about 5 or 6 restless nights.

Give it some time, it will ease up. I promise.:thumbup:
