Sleep Apnea
t6texan:
My sleep test was no fun either. First getting all those wires and probs put on you, makes it really hard to relax mutch less turn over in the bed. Not to mention the place where I had my test the landscape maintance crew decided they needed to run their gas powered leaf blowers around the grounds of the sleep study clinic at 10:00 pm for two hours straight. :o

My sisted had this bad and slept with the mask/machine nightly. She was also noticeably overweight, got bypass surgery, lost 150 lbs and the problem was totally solved.

My husband has a CPAP and I forced him to use it ..It is horrible sleeping with someone who snores very very loudly and then just stops breathing. So we were both sleep deprived. When I finally moved out of the room, he conceeded to a sleep test and realized that he had a problem. The CPAP made a big difference (for both of us). The real solution though was, like Spatech said, weight loss. Since my husband has lost weight, he doesn't need the machine any longer.
I don't think having sleep apnea would raise any extra concern in the tub.

That is where I am at. I've lost 33 pounds so far and only have 50 to go. ( I did the lap band, not the full bypass.)

Bill, if you have done surgery, you probably have exhausted every diet out there..but I have to say the South Beach Diet is the easiest way to not only lose weight, but reduce your chance of diabetes. My husband and I did it last year this time and each lost over 30 lbs. It took months, but it was very easy. Dieting with your partner sure makes losing weight easier and if you learn why the diet works, you can keep the weight from coming back. I know for me, the coffee creamers packed on the pounds. I didn't realize how much I was using of that stuff (fat free flavored creamers). The biggest benefit of dropping that weight for me was relief from the arthritis in my knee. So combined with the hot tub, weight loss is also the ticket for managing arthritis. ;)
