GLORY BE, I AM BIPAP FREE!!!!!!! <p>I just saw the pulmonologist and he has released me from machine therapy and it will be going back tomorrow. YEAH!! I never was able to get back on it after surgery but it's nice to have the official medical release. It's just amazing that I went from pressures of 22/18 BiPAP on January 2nd 2003 to 4 CPAP on Aug 5th, 2003. It's amazing what 150 lb loss can do. He said I have 10 events an hour but not serious and he's confident that they will be gone with a few more lbs gone. He said from what he saw from the overall study he would not be on a machine either. He said he was jealous. LOL He's not a surgery candidate but could stand to lose 50-75 lbs. <p>I'm a happy girl today!!!!! <p>I hope everyone has the same success in getting off their sleep apnea machines as I have. Have a great day! I know I am!!!! Chris

Chris, I don't see your losing fast as something you have not earned. From your comments I see you have taken control of your life and that is something to be commended for. Pat yourself on the back and thank the Lord he has blessed you. May God Bless You. YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!!! Janice
