Sleep apnea resolution — anyone have experience?

Diagnosed before starting, on CPAP since, and my partner says the snoring stopped about four months in.

Month 8 update on sleep apnoea: down 20 lbs from my starting weight of 295 lbs. Here's what's changed beyond the scale:

• No longer pre-diabetic (A1C normalized)
• Off blood pressure medication
• Can tie my shoes without getting winded
• Sleep apnea resolved — returned my CPAP
• Confidence level: through the roof

This medication has genuinely given me my life back. I'm not exaggerating. 🙌

Sleep changes on sleep apnoea: anyone else sleeping differently? I've been sleeping lighter since starting week 5.

My theory: the weight loss has improved my sleep apnea (confirmed by recent sleep study — AHI dropped from 26 to 7). Better oxygenation at night = better sleep quality = more energy during the day. It's a virtuous cycle.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. Nothing to add that would improve it.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. There is a difference between no evidence and evidence of no effect, and this subject is one where the two get swapped freely in both directions.
