NO MORE C-PAP MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had a sleep study done last night and I no longer need my c-pap machine. I have used one for 5 years and now I don't need to use it anymore. Another great reward from this surgery.

Hi Ellen,
Glad you are off the CPAP machine
. My doctor took me off mine in December but he did not require another sleep study because my sleep apnea was mild and he felt that the weight loss probably cured mine. He also asked me a rounds of questions about how I felt in the morning, if I had headaches etc. He said I could have a sleep study done if I wanted but based on my numbers when he put me on CPAP he said in 90% of the cases where people with mild sleep apnea lose weight the sleep apnea is cured. The doctor even said that he reccommends this surgery to his obese patients because he has seen such a turnaround in the lives of his patients who have done the surgery and he told me that he should make me a poster child for WLS which made me feel great! I just wanted to ask your guys on the board if you feel that maybe I should get another sleep study to be on the safe side? Please give your opinions. Thanks.
