I was on CPAP before starting and my most recent study came back changed enough that the conversation about it is now a different conversation.

Sleep changes on sleep apnoea: anyone else sleeping differently? I've been sleeping worse since starting week 3.

My theory: the weight loss has improved my sleep apnea (confirmed by recent sleep study — AHI dropped from 25 to 6). Better oxygenation at night = better sleep quality = more energy during the day. It's a virtuous cycle.

Month 13 update on sleep apnoea: down 25 lbs from my starting weight of 260 lbs. Here's what's changed beyond the scale:

• No longer pre-diabetic (A1C normalized)
• Off blood pressure medication
• Can tie my shoes without getting winded
• Sleep apnea resolved — returned my CPAP
• Confidence level: through the roof

This medication has genuinely given me my life back. I'm not exaggerating. 🙌

This matches mine closely enough to be worth saying so out loud.

Clinical perspective, offered as context rather than as advice. Take it one variable at a time. Almost every unanswerable question in these threads is unanswerable because three things changed in the same fortnight, and no amount of subsequent argument can untangle them after the fact.
