Sweet!
ILuvSeaWorld has blocked me because I didn't agree with her opinion of needing a CPAP machine. Sweet! I was merely trying to give her guidance to maybe save her life. I wish her the best...please pass it along since I am blocked...and encourage her to seek treatment for her Sleep Apnea. Sleep Apnea is something I DO know about and am very passionate about.

That's too bad. My husband has sleep apnea, uses a bipap machine and unfortunately, although his need for it has declined since surgery, he still needs to use it. The surgery isn't a guarantee that he'll ever be able to stop using it. And he and his doctor are ok with that.

Exactly! Please seek out ILuvSeaWorld and encourage her to pursue her diagnosis...although you risk also being blocked by her.

I'm glad to hear this. So far, although I have lost a lot of weight, I unfortunately still need my CPAP machine. I hope you will only need it short term and that you find one for a reasonable rate. My insurance covered a "rental fee" until it was completely paid. Now, the only cost is the supplies, which is still partly covered by insurance.
Good Luck!

I appears that she blocked anyone that didn't support her view about CPAP. Apparently now she has taken it a step farther by asking the admin to remove her post titled, "CPAP".

Something is definitely going on. I'm blocked by her too & I don't remember ever engaging anything with her. Some people will only want to hear what they want to hear in a way they want to hear it. Tough love posters need not apply. Anything that contradicts her opinion I'm guessing she goes right to block mode. That's really a little sad.
No one surgery is better than the other, what works for one may not work for another.
