Sleep apnea and weight loss

NCNative Posts: 4 Joined: 2006/12/15	2007/10/08, 06:14 PM Hi: I am 40 pounds overweight (at least by insurance company standards) and I also was diagnosed with sleep apnea recently. I am on an exercise and weight-loss program, and am wondering if anyone here has had success improving the quality of sleep or breathing after weight loss. I've always had a huge neck, even when I had a 29 waist back in college. I'm gonna keep losing the weight, but am looking for some treatment options for the apnea besides those the doctor gave me.

I am at a more normal weight now and have tried sleep ing without the guard a few times and I don't think I sleep as well as when I do wear it. -------------- Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles, discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes the strong soul from the weak.
