SA No Longer!

I was diagnosed with Obstructive SA in Sepember 09.  I had my surgery January 09 and one month ago the SA Specialist told me I no longer need to use the CPAP machine.  After losing 80lbs and getting another study done, my SA is no longer. 

Problem is I am still making noises in my sleep and that scares me a little.   Anyone else with a similar experience?

Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks,

Get a copy of the report. I never heard of anyone on a really low pressure. maybe the doctor says you no longer have OSA say if your pressure is under 7.  I honestly don't know.   The report would show if you needed any pressure at night or not.  Just an idea.

 Mishelle,
Thank you for your advice.  I am seeing a sleep specialist and I guess he knows what he's doing.  I do sleep much better without the machine than when I was on it in recent months following all the weight loss.  I see him again in a few months and we'll see what happens then.

Regards,
