SLEEP APNEA!!

Think it's not serious? Think the CPAP isn't necessary if you have it?  Think the sleep study is a waste of time?  THINK AGAIN!!!  This is from the Mayo Clinic's website.

This is serious stuff people!!!  Often, sleep apnea can be cured once you've had wls and have lost some weight, but not always. 

So please, stay on top of this!

Thanks Tia I have had sa for qbout 8 years. I didnt want to use the mas****il I read up on SA. I also went to a seep apnea forum and learned so much. SA is no joke you can die from lack of air....Thanks for the mayo info..

I hated the mask at first but after using it for so long I did not like sleeping without it. I have not had to use it anymore since wls but at the time of my sleep study I stopped breathing about 60 times and hour. It was horrible.

Good post Tia. My husband has it and he cannot sleep without his cpap. It took him a while to get used to it. Also its important to see your pulmonologist regularly. My husband just saw his and actually had to get his settings increased.
