Hiya! I was diagnosed with sleep apnea about 6 years ago. I've had a mostly hate-hate relationship with my CPAP for most of that time. It was really hard to get used to. I even renamed it the Squid, it looked and felt like a squid sucking my face :) But, then I discovered Ambien :) Better living through chemistry! Yay!

Anyways, the point! Not that I have one, is that I thought my apnea would get better if I lost weight as well. I lost about 30 pounds, but it didn't get any better. *shrug* Losing weight doesn't work for everyone. I'm glad it worked for you though! I'm hoping to get to a place eventually where I don't need a drug to help me sleep with the Squid. I'm at least at a place where I do see the benefit of using it, which is nice.
