    I was diagnosed with sleep apnea in 2021, obstructive sleep apnea and was given a cpap machine.

    The doctor also told me weight loss couldn't cure it but a year on I've lost 90lbs and I've handed back my Cpap this week my sleep apnea has gone (after another sleep study was done) so its definitely possible.

    Go get a CPAP! It’s amazing how different you feel once starting and actually getting a good nights sleep. I went with a cushion instead of a mask and took a few days to get used to it but I’d never go back to sleeping without it! Also sleep apnea is so hard on your heart!! Get it ordered and get started!! Send me a message if you have any questions!!

    That is amazing! - I am hoping for that and using my CPAP in the meantime.

    I was never diagnosed with sleep apnea, but my gf has told me I went from snoring like a bear when I was 388 pounds to not even being able to tell if I've fallen asleep at my current weight of 235
