I had a test at the end of Jan. one year after surgery to see how my sleep apnea was doing and about week later I received a phone call to take my machine in to have the pressure lowered. Made a appointment to see sleep doctor to get the results had to cancel the appointment but then rescheduled and went on Wednesday to see him and low and behold I NO LONGER HAVE SLEEP APNEA AND DO NOT NEED THE MACHINE YAHOO.

I am so happy and excited I am shouting it to anyone I can tell I will go back in a year to make sure it is still gone but so happy I do not have to use the machine anymore even though I slept good with it one. Doctor said he was surprised it was gone because of the apneas I was having before surgery.

That's fantastic!! WTG!! I go next month as well for another follow up to check my cpap settings and pressure. It's been lowered twice now and I think the next step is the same as yours, getting rid of it.

Incredible how our lives have changed in one year!!

Congratulations! I'm off mine as well. You know what I'm enjoying now the most? Falling asleep on freshly laundered bedding! Being able to smell that is such a treat. Enjoy!
