Topic: RE: Repost: Lost Over 100 lbs and Still Have Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea can run in families. My father had it and so does my older sister. My sister never went to get tested but I know she has it.
What's your weight now? If your still around 216lbs it might still go away once you drop more weight

That's sad that you still have sleep apnea. Some people have it regaldess if they are thin or obese. I never went back to have a sleep study done but I'm sleeping through the night without ever waking up and NO more bathroom breaks.
Now my Machine sits in my closet. Such a shame as I paid so much for it.

Donna,
You are so lucky! I have lost over 100 lbs and my last sleep study indicates that I still have sleep apnea. I really wish I could get rid of that CPAP machine.

Good morning all!
I am really bombed out because I just got a call from my doctor's office stating that I still have sleep apnea after loosing over 100 lbs. I thought that the sleep apnea would be cured with weight loss. Can anyone give me any insight on your experiences with sleep apnea?

Topic: RE: ever need pressure setting raised??
You would have to be out of your mind to adjust your machine by feel. Your lungs are made up of a million aioli, sacs that exchange molecules of gas that an electron microscope can see, and you want to fiddle with the pressure regulator like filling a bicycle tire.
Topic: RE: Cpap after surgery
New mask, and a lower pressure sound in order,the test should be covered by insurance. its a dianostic test for a serious health conditions. you should not go off treatment with out doctor approval, it sets up a chemical level in your brain that triggers when you breath, or not breath, its much more than just snorring, that would be cosmetic.
