Good job on the weight loss and welcome back!

I to am not overweight but suffer from some form of OA or UARS and thus require an xpap for optimal sleep and physical ability (wakefulness, ect... during the day).

Even though I have lost 30lbs since going low-carb back in February - I to am still in need of the xpap by knowing the few naps I've mistakenly taken without it, I feel like crap. Not to mention the recent night without xpap for another in-home sleep study, it took me nearly 2 weeks to feel normal again and that following morning of being without xpap, I felt like crap.

So I guess what I am saying is don't sweat it that the weight-loss hasn't cured your apnea but also be happy that losing the weight is also helpful to your well being in many ways as is the continuance of xpap.
