Severe Sleep Apnea and Weight Loss Surgery

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a little over 5 years ago and am currently using a C-Flex Autopap machine at night. I had gastric bypass surgery in May and have lost approximately 60 lbs. so far.
My pulmonologist seems to think my sleep apnea is structural and it won't go away after I loose weight. I am hoping he is wrong. I will see him for my yearly followup appointment in November. Has anyone here lost a lot of weight and had no change in their sleep apnea? Posted on 09/22/09, 02:09 pm |

I will let you know if my pressure goes down at all when I go for my 1 year followup appointment with the pulmonologist in November. I have been really tired lately and had to take a nap in my car last week at work. However, I don't think it's related to my sleep apnea. I have a autopap machine which adjust the pressure according to what I need.
