Weight

Posted by Barb (Seattle) on July 28, 2004 at 07:35:29:

How many of us are overweight, and by about how much? I'm very curious if weight has to do with the majority of cases of apnea. I'll go first - I'm about 40 pounds overweight still. Started out 100 pounds overweight...I've gone down slowly but surely over the last few years...some spikes up, but still a downward trend. Sure seems to take forever!
