Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi Tess, Great to hear from you. I am happy and sad about your good and bad news. Is there any treatment plan for you other than weight loss? Love and Hugs Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Hi All...I will pray, too, at 9 eastern (6pm my time.) Our Debs is a much loved lady! I spent last night at the sleep lab. My doctors wanted to compare results from before my throat surgery to now. The great news is there is no more sleep apnea at all! The not-so-great news is that I have obstructive hypopnea - which, if I understand it correctly is periods of shallow breathing followed by partial sleep arousals. If not treated, it can become as serious as the apnea. This is caused by the obesity. So....it is vitally important to lose some weight as the throat surgery did an excellent job for the non-obesity related problems. I welcome your prayers that I treat my body as the Lord would have me do. On my own it is too hard, but through Christ ALL things are possible...even round little Tess becoming " less round " . Much Love & Many Hugs to All.... Tess PS ~ Em has her coworkers praying for Deb, and I've asked my prayer group to do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
