Weight Loss Success! I am FREE!

Hi All, Thought I'd give you all my story as I've seen the question asked a few times about weight loss and apnea. 07/2010 I was diagnosed with incredibly severe apnea, AHI 113, Oxygen below 50%, 0 minutes of "Deep sleep". I weighed a ton. Dr. told me not to even sleep lying down until I got the mac...

Should I Go Off?

I've told parts of my story elsewhere but my question now is about an upcoming trip. Quick summary: 07/2010 I was diagnosed with incredibly severe apnea, AHI in the hundreds, Oxygen below 50%, 0 minutes of "Deep sleep". I weighed a ton.

Re: Waking up nightly after 3-5 hours - any advice?

I probably wake up 4 times per night to flip - probably awake for under 30 seconds. Everyone once in a while though, what happens to you happens to me: sleep 3-5 hours and wake up completely. Oddly enough when I do that I do not feel tired during the day...go figure. I have probably only slept a han...

Re: Low Vitamin D level appears to cause sleep apnea

I haven't watched the videos yet (which I will do), but the doctor in question does have at least 7 published medical journal articles on various aspects of neurology, so while the vitamin D/OSA hypothesis may well be wrong, I think it's safe to say she's not an outright quack.

Re: Weight Loss and Pressure Adjustment

That's great! Keep us posted. Weight loss is a common discussion around here. How did you lose it? Changed the way I ate, exercise 5x/week at least and move more in general.

Re: Weight Loss and Pressure Adjustment

Well, I appear to be one of the small few. A little over a year ago, I finally went to the Dr. because I was passing out. I had an AHI in the hundreds. Dr. told me even before I did the sleep study he knew I had it: Male, 21.5" neck, very obese, snore, yadda yadda. Was put on a pressure of 20, which...
