    • Close Gastric Bypass Surgery

      I am 54 yrs. old. I have been heavy for most of my life. I have severe sleep apnea and use a cpap machine at night. I am hoping to have gastric bypass surgery. My HMO requires that I see my PCP one a month for 6 months to be weighed. I have 3 more months of weight checks and then I have to see several specialists and have a bunch of tests before my PCP puts in a request for an authorization.

    • Open Sleep Apnea

      Diagnosed with severe sleep apneal approximately 5 years ago. I use a auto C-flex machine and I use a full face mask

      Treatments

      CPAP Working / Worked
      Using the auto C-flex machine has helped me tremendously. Before, I got the machine, I was tired all the time. I couldn't get out of bed on the weekends, always tired. I had trouble staying awake while driving across the bridge to work - very scary. I fell asleep once in a meeting.
