I have sleep apnea and have used a cpap for nearly 5 years now. Before my surgery I loved my machine because I knew it was going to help me sleep safely--it was a comforting thing like a blankie. Unfortunately since the surgery I have been having problems with mouth breathing and getting a sore throat. I'm going to have to call my pulmonary sleep clinic to find out what's going on. Just like Van said, it's another point in your favor of getting approved for wls. Good luck!
