I stopped using my CPAP for about a week and my symptoms almost fully disappeared and they get less and less the more I sleep without it. Anyway, t...

May I ask what was your starting weight, and how long did it take you to lose the 50 lbs?
I was 280 now I’m 225-230. Took me just over 6 months. I am at a good weight for my height and body type.
