I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Additionally, I was given a cpap machine to try out for a month by the vendor, as suggested by the doctor, and it worked. I asked the doctor if losing weight might make the apnea go away and his response was, 'absolutely'. So, fast forward a year later and I've lost over 20 pounds, I'm sleeping without the CPAP machine, and I am not as tired as I used to be.

It almost sounds to me like you are second guessing your doctor (the expert). Did you ask enough questions? I'm only suggesting that understanding the facts is imperative.

I plan to get re-tested when I've lost a few more pounds, but in the meantime, my wife is not waking me and telling me to roll over at night.

Changing my diet is helping in many ways, including a clearer head. Food for thought.
