Not sure if i asked this question on this board before but  does any body have Pulmonary hypertension from sleep apnea? It is high plood pressure of the lung for those who do not know...Did they do your surgery with it and did you have to wear your mask during surgery?

thanks B

Incidences of sleep apnea leading to complex pulmonary hypertension are not commonly reported in this form.However, there must be cases with such symptoms.It would be good to see some real life experiences in this regard.

I have PH and Sleep Apnea. They aren't sure if it was caused by the Apnea, because I also took Fen-Phen years ago. I have Left Diastolic Dysfunction, maybe from Apnea, or CHF, from the PH? All is under control now, with meds. I have to bleed 3L of O2 into my CPAP at night. I sure hope that all gets better after WLS. I also have Type 2 Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, and Inflammatory Arthritis.....and more. The Surgeon is aware of all of this, and is still doing the surgery. It's high risk, which scares me, because it's a Revision from a VBG in 1999, and has to be open. He told me it's a 65% complication rate and 5% morbidity. He also said to count on at least 8 days in the hospital. I've gone back and forth, but if I don't have surgery, I'm cutting my life anyway. I get my surgery date on 5/28. Is anyone out their in this position?

I owed it to myself to research the Duodenal Switch before consenting to any other weight loss surgery and so do you.  Check out: DSFacts.com and DuodenalSwitch.com for more information.
