Can Apnea be eliminated?

Posted by Sleepy on March 01, 2005 at 09:04:03:
I was recently diagnosed with OSA. My case is due to being overweight. I know weight loss can reduce sleep apnea but my question is - if I got sleep apnea from being overweight, can I eliminate sleeep apnea completely by losing the excess weight?
Thanks in advance.....
