RE: Obesity surgery
I guess it depends on the surgery whether it is successful or not. I myself had a bariatric sleeve in 2016 where 75% of my stomach was removed surgically. I lost about 100 pounds, so I was 300 the year I started the path to the surgery. I had gotten to 200 about a year later. Here lately I have put on a few pounds due to less activity due to disabilities. Even with about 100 pound weight loss, I still needed the ASV to combat mixed apnea therapy, and now I'm headed down the path to get a NIV/ventilator. Not to discourage you, but I think it's few that get the apnea diagnosis that weight loss will eliminate the need of PAP. Regardless, good luck on the surgery.
