Anyone on CPAP?

My motivation to finally be serious about losing weight is that my doctor wants me on CPAP and I just dont want to have to do that. I have had the sleep test and have been diagnosed with hypopnea (shallow breathing during sleep). While I've always had problems sleeping, even as a kid, I think this hypopnea might be weight related, therefore, I want to lose the weight and avoid the CPAP.

Just wondering if anyone else on CPAP lost weight and had their apnea/hypopnea resolve?

    Thats what was my motivation for losing weight... plus my daughter...

    I went in for a check up on my nose and they thought i had sleep apnea. I said, f that.. i will lose weight and see what happens. My neck was a 17 1/2... now its a 15 1/2 and i have been having the best sleep of my life..

    sorry but i have doctor friends that even say that Cpap machine is money in the docs pocket all day. Sorry but the weight loss has helped and i dont want to be held to a machine.
