Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Lori, I believe that sleep apnea does slow or stop weight loss. Not to mention kill off brain cells, cause hypertension, increase the possibilities of stroke. OK will stop. A serious condition that is not always given the attention it should have.

Another question if ya'll don't mind. My oxygen concentrator was picked up a year ago when my insurance ran out so I have not been on my bi-pap for a year. Does this affect weight loss? My physician is ordering another sleep study so that we can get an oxygen concentrator back now that I am on Medicare. He thinks that it maybe why I haven't been able to loose much this last year. I was beginning to wonder the same thing. Has anyone had this experience? Please share.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 And that is what I was wondering. I have noticed I have been a lot more tired. I have had to go on meds this last year for hypertension and my weight loss has come to a dead stop despite changes in eating habits. I have lost a total of 4 lbs in the last 6 months and none of that was in the last 2 months. Hmmm. Maybe it's time to get back on it.
