Hi! I was told to bring my cpap with me to the hospital. They said they might need to use it during the surgery- which I thought wasi weird.... but my question is while you're in the room, I imagine that you are often going in between sleeping and not sleeping, so did you try to put on your cpap every time you fall asleep? Thanks!

    I have to say that title got my attention! I did use my cpap in the hospital after surgery. I slept a lot the first 12-18 hours and I knew I would be on pain medication that would deepen my sleep and make me more susceptible to have apnea.

    LOL

    I only had to bring my mask. I love my CPAP -- can't sleep without it and feel like crap if I try. I definitely wore mine most of the evening after surgery and overnight.

    I absolutely LOVED my CPAP machine. Poor thing is now in the basement as I don't need it anymore. I can't answer your question as they didn't tell me to bring it with me for my surgery. I would have brought if I had known. I'm sure I would have slept SO much better during my overnight stay.

    Haha clap at the hospital was a definitely a "wth let's check this one out" lol....as far as the CPAP they told me to bring mine but insisted the respiratory therapist use their machine and mask, but I declined wearing the CPAP at all since I was dealing with recovery and not sleeping very much as it was.

    I have nothing to add to this conversation except to laugh really loud at the title of the thread.

    My husband laughed, too.
