I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING WLS. WHILE I WAS READING UP ON IT I KEPT HEARING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH SLEEP APNEA. SO I READ UP ON IT. I HAVE JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE SYMPTONS. WHO DO I CALL TO BE DIAGNOSED.

Has anyone's sleep apnea gotten better after weight loss?

Replying to this old thread - I told my wife that she would be sleeping next to "Darth Charlie" - she laughed. Heck, my wife is about a geeky as I am (and I'm a mondo geek) Actually, the more I see of the masks, Luke in the Bacta tank http://www.maarasuniverse.com/luke2/lukeinbacta1.jpeg

Good luck, Charlie. Stick with it. Don't give up. It's really been great for me. No headaches in the morning. No sleepiness during the day -- especially no falling asleep at the wheel. Donna

I was wondering if anyone here ever needed their pressure setting raised at some point. I thought I remembered reading a post where someone set their machine to a different level on their own. I think I may need a higher setting. My setting feels to me like nothing. I used to feel the air coming in, now I don't. It's been three years or so, and I have gained weight since then. I don't want to have a new sleep study and machine if I can avoid it, because I'd have to pay 20%. I know they told me machines should be replaced every two years, but those things are outrageously expensive. Over a thousand dollars for a glorified fan. I bet it costs twenty dollars to make! Anyway, I was wondering if I should reprogram my machine and raise the levels a little at a time til it feels right. I just don't feel like it's doing the job like it used to. Anyone else ever try this? BTW, I can't get surgery anymore because I found out I'm pregnant, but this is the only good board I've found online for apnea people. Thanks, Sarah
