sleep apnea/c-pap advice... post lap-band sugery

I have been on nasal c-pap for many years due to severe sleep apnea. I have 2 questions: 1) Any idea how many lbs. one has to lose before it's necessary to have the setting lowered? 2) If the setting is too high for your current weight, can it cause air to be forced into the esophagus?

Ask your doctor about another sleeps study,t hat would be the best way to determine if your pressure is too high now.

My sleep apnea dr. told me to come in after I had lost 60 lb. Ineed to lose 150! I am having lapband surgery July 3, so I will continue as I am until 60 pounds. He did not say I would have to do another sleep study. Ned
