Has anybody QUIT cpap yet?

I have decided I could probably quit c-pap. Since surgery I have been lowering my pressure and now I am down to 6. When I was down to 8 I went away for the weekend and didn't take "IT". Mostly, I had trouble falling asleep. Has anybody quit theirs and where you 'addicted' to the face mask? Is a pressure of 6 still in need of c-pap? Paula 270/218/150?126?

When I started my C-pap I was set at 13 ... I go tonight for a new study but like you I have not used it in weeks.. I my self think 6 is high but what do I know LOL .... best of luck to you.. Shelly -105

You've been adjusting your pressure yourself?!? That can be dangerous. You should ask for another sleep study and then go by the doctor's recommendation for weather or not you still need cpap.

Mine is set on 9 and I'm pre-op, my dad's was 12 and since his WLS he's down to 7. I think I'd still use it until you were down to 2 or 3. You don't want to risk a lack of oxygen during the night because of the brain damage that can happen.

Paula - I have quit my cpap. I haven't used it for a while now. I've lost 80 lbs total and I sleep like a baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't wake up once, don't snore, don't gasp for air. Just another benefit of wls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laurie 266/262/186/135

I was diagnosed after losing 165 pounds. I quit the CPAP because it kept waking me up at night. I was sent to an Orthodontist for a dental device. It was working out good but started to aggravate my TMJ. It never ends.
