What is the highlight of your journey?

Since surgery, what has made it the most positive experience? For me, it was no longer having sleep apnea or high blood pressure. Such a blessing to not need the CPAP machine any longer and no longer need meds to control my BP. Mary

I would have to say that the highlight of my journey is that I am comfortable with myself. From sleeping at night, to fitting in the car comforably with my seatbelt, to getting dressed each day. The list could go on.... I never made it to a CPAP, but did wake myself up each night before surgery snoring.

Wanda, Haven't we gone thru so many changes the last 2 years. I love being able to bend over to pick something up off the floor, being able to fit in a booth at a restaurant instead of panicking that I won't fit and be embarrassed. I used the CPAP for 3 years before surgery. When I was tested, they told me that I had "severe" sleep apnea, probably had it for years, and they couldn't believe that I truly could function. Sure explained why I always felt so lousy but my blood work would be fine. It took about 6 months for me to get off the CPAP after surgery. I was retested and didn't even have 1 episode during the night ... definitely came a LONG WAY. Mary
