Hi all,

Good news!   I got the results of my sleep study yesterday and I had no incidents of apnea, and have been diagnosed with "very mild sleep apnea" because my oxygen levels went low occasionally during the night.   I can discontinue my CPAP or I can have it recalibrated to a much lower level.  Bye, bye, CPAP.  Its been good!

Amazing,  220 pounds lost, a normal BMI, no comorbidities, no medications, no CPAP, no joint pain.  This is beyond my wildest dream.

OMG---I so wish i could do away with mine after i have my surgery/weight is down.

I've been on it for about 5 years and still drives me nuts at time. I've been faithful about wearing it but it would be sheer joy to graduate from it.

Can one really become totally un-dependent of one?
