POLL: What co morbidites do you still have after lapband?
It has been 2 years for me, and I still have unresolved sleep apnea, and I still wear the pesky CPAP. I know I still have it because if I don't use it the night before, I am a major sloth the next day, and when I do use it I am very energic. (I was dating briefly in Dec-Jan., and I didn't wear my cpap bec I am embarrased and he did say that I snore lightly.)
My cholesterol levels goes up and down.
Apparently I still have diabetes per my PCP but very well controlled thanks to metformin (reduced dosage) because I was just dx'ed with yeast infection Monday.

246 in Dec 2008 before banded 1/28/09 at 215 lbs, band crapped 9/09 at 170 lbs and struggled with it and regained to 203 revised to bypass on 8/1/11 and am very happy.
Hi Cheryl, I still have mild high blood pressure (135/85) with meds, but not taking one of the really aggresive medications either. My sleep apnea, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes are resolved.
You can snore and not have apnea, so maybe another sleep study is warranted to find out if you still have it??

My sleep apnea is gone ...but I had joined a forum about it and one of the things that people mentioned was a surgical fix for sleep apnea... Cheryl... IF yours is NOT caused by extra weight, since I see your current is 173 (nice) there may be some option for you...
?? maybe something to consider...I never minded the mask, because I felt soooo much better in themorning....
my hgb a1c went from 7 to 5.1 Depending on what I eat, my cholesterol is better.
I am still taking my meds for them, but hopefully not much longer....

Cheryl,
I no longer have high blood pressure and am off of meds for that.
My cholesterol has improved to the point where I have the choice of staying on a low dose of Lipitor as a preventative or stop taking it altogether. I have stopped taking it.
I used to snore quite heavily, although my sleep apnea test came back normal. My husband reports that I only snore now if I have a cold.
My menstrual cycle, which used to be all over the map, with complications due to polycystic ovarian syndrome, has regulated for the first time in probably 20 years.
