Welcome, Nancy! Congrats on making all your decisions and I wish you the very best in getting all your pretesting and pre-surgery weightloss done smoothly and easily! : ) I hope you're having a great week!

OMG..the bed for the sleep study is so comfy I wanted to take it home with me! As for the CPAP..I kicked that thing to the curb 3 months ago.

Did you just stop using it or did you get another sleep study?  I don't have issues when I nap anymore...no snoring....no waking up coughing....(coughing for air)     I quit wearing my cpap as it is costing me 45.00 a month with my new insurance and I wanted to see if I could sleep well without it.  Just curious.  They said I had mild sleep apnea and my machine was set on a 4.  Is it dangerous to stop using it now that I have lost 90 plus pounds???  I hate the thought of another sleep study....uuuggghhh!

Diana - looks like nobody answered your question!  My CPAP is auto adjusting and has a smart card in it.  It monitors how much you're needing the machine to help you.  I just send in the card 2 weeks after surgery and they check it out.  I hope to be off it quickly.  It's not terrible and I do feel better but I'm hoping that I can breathe properly on my own with weight loss.  I think you're probably fine without it after a 90 pound loss.   Although I know that some skinny people can have sleep apnea.  Good luck! Kim

Wow!  A smart card!  That is awesome!  I must have the low end model!!! lol  I'm so jealous!!  I really think I am okay now that I lost 90 pounds.
