I didn’t have the bypass, but I did have the gastric waistband which is less painful and reversible. Insurance, at least in my country, did not cover it because a) I didn’t have any at the time and b) It was considered (back then about 3 years ago) it wasn’t considered to be for health reasons, more for looking good. I don’t regret it however, because since I’ve had it I have lost about 90 pounds and I’m still losing weight.
There are days when you can’t swallow solids, but most of the time you can eat just about anything except for red meat because if it’s not properly cooked it may too hard.
Anyway, it has totally changed my life, but that’s just me.
My cousin did have the bypass and the weight loss is faster but it takes a toll on your body and it is nonreversible.
You decide what is the best for you, but my advice is to go for the lapband (that’s the medical name for it). Trust me, it will hurt from time to time, but it will definitely be worth it.
Good luck, my friend.

It sucks. I also know 2 other people who just had theirs done too.

They stick these wires to your head and elsewhere – couple on your temples, several on your actual head (in your hair), on your chest, on your lower legs. They bundle them all together and tie them like it’s one big super cord.

They also put that clip on one of your fingers to check your oxygen levels.

They put a thick belt/band around your chest (with wires) to keep check of your chest expansion when breathing.

They put one of those oxygen tube type things just under your nose and tape it to your face (although no oxygen – it monitors your breathing through your nose).

So given all these wires attached to you, you can’t freely move and roll around in bed like normal. You’re semi-restricted. So very uncomfortable. Hard to sleep.

Plus if you have to use the bathroom, you have to call out to them so they can “unhook you” to go to the bathroom.

I don’t have sleep apnea. The 2 other people I know that had it, probably do have it, but just did it within the past month, so haven’t had results back yet. So not sure what the treatment options are.

Have they looked at other potential causes for your fatigue? Such as some sort of virus, bacteria, fungal infection? What about an autoimmune disorder? Low thyroid? Checked your heart out?

They put allot of wires on you it’s uncomfortable. A clothes pin shaped sensor on your finger. Some goppy gritty stuff to hold the wires to your skin. I was only able to fall a sleep for about two hours or less at a time evan after being put on the sleep machine but that’s more because I can’t stand anything on my skin. I was their from 8pm to 6am not a lot of fun

Yes, I have sleep apnoea and have had it for 15 yrs. I can’t tell you how long I had it before I was diagnosed but I am guessing about a year.
My symptoms were extreme tiredness even though I had been asleep for eight hours, lack of concentration and no motivation.
The only reason I found out was because my boyfriend had gone to the toilet in the middle of the night and when he got back into bed I stopped breathing.
He told me the next morning and I went to the doctors.
I was sent for a sleep study at the hospital and found out that I have severe sleep apnoea.
Unfortunately none of the things I have tried have helped me.

Sorry I can’t put any links up because I’m doing this through the Wii.
Feel free to email me if you would like more information.

When was you mask/nasal pillows last replaced? They need to be replaced every 6 months. Hubby is experiencing the same thing at times and I reminded him that he doesn’t clean his nasal pillows often enough and that he needs to get them replaced as he is long overdue to replace them. Also you may need to have you hoses replaced too. Call the place that supplies you machine and make an appointment to get it checked out. Also you didn’t say what you used to clean it but this too is something you should ask about when you to get your machine checked out. Be sure the water you use in your humidifier portion is distilled water and not tap water. Good Luck. When you find out what the problem was let everyone know as this useful information.
