hellooo

hi every one, a litei up date frome the last 2 weeks.
well i went to my cpap test 2 weeks a go and apparently i have sever sleep apnea,the nurse told me that i stop breathing 20 times an hour for 12 sec  or more  each time, which explains why i don't have any energy in the morning and why i don't what to do anything.
today i went and see my wls doc. she gave me my cpap prescription , which i am geting  tomorrow and told me that the surgeon office will contact me in the next 2 weeks and i will have a DATE WOUHOOOOOOOOOOOOO.I can't wait.

YEAYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! on the soon to be date! So happy for you!
The cpap will take some adjusting to, but don't give up on it, as you will feel remarkably better if you can get used to using it. When I set people up with them, those who stuck it out and adjusted to it said they felt like a new person!


Will await word on your surgery date!  I know you must be so excited!

Patrece, you are really right.  I have slep with one for 3 1/2 years.  I have to stay on mime because of stopped breathing.  I can tell if mine is a little bit off.  I have now lost 78 pounds and go april 5 th for another sleep test to adjust mine.  Just a little info, love annie

I have been using my CPAP for about three years and it goes with me wherever I go, (overnight).
My husband gets a much better nights sleep also.   It does take a little getting used to but the sleep is wonderful.  Still, I can't wait to lose enough weight to get rid of it.  I will buy a little fan to make up the white noise.  My next visit with my pulmonologist is August. 

glad you discovered about the cpap.  could save your life.. hope u get a date realllllllllll soon.vick

Wow Gilda, sounds like a good thing that you are getting the CPAP.  I have had mine for a few years and noticed a big difference in my energy in just a few days after strting to use it.  Eagerly anticipating your surgery date.  Let me know when you have news.  Come back and share with the group from time to time, missed you.  Hugs

same here - have had mine for 5 years and it made all the difference for me as well. Now as others, am hoping that weight loss will help with this also but stick with the machine. Its hard to get used to for some but don't give up! Glad you're on your way!

I have severe sleep apnea also but i quit using my machine 2 weeks after because i could not sleep with the machine. i am working on trying to get back to it and all
