Losing weight varies with the person. My Dr. said I would lose around 20 lbs. I lost about 18 lbs. But put about 5 lbs back on as soon as I started eating again.


I could pretty much sleep on my side or back. But I definately had to sleep propped up. I slept in a recliner for about 2 1/2 weeks. It hurts too much to lie down flat.

It was almost 3 1/2 weeks before my doctor released me to use the CPAP. I really needed it before then, but I was too sore to use it.

Hope this helps.
