No, my weight hasn't fluctuated at all since starting CPAP therapy several years ago (I'm currently about 30 pounds overweight).

Oh I WISH!! If I thought it would help, I'd wear it all day long! I've only been using a machine (cpap then bipap) since Feb or Mar of this year, but I seem to be gaining weight. I don't think it's related because I've got so much more energy than before.

I have gained. I have been totally compliant for at least 12 years. In all that time I have not used my CPAP twice (2 nights). Once when I had a virus and another when we lost power in a storm.

I am 57 years old and I have lost weight after using the cpap. I have a question. Do you think that men over 50 procrastinate about their health?

I lost thirty pounds. I am back to daily long walks, not craving sweets and carbs, and not drinking coffee to stay awake. I was too tired to exercise before being diagnosed. Now, I pop out of bed and run full speed ahead. I have been on my Cpap for 17 months, yet did not feel fully awake and alert for 4-5 months.

This is an aside ... starting last December, I was not sleeping well (waking up more tired than usual and mind is foggy) so I had myself tested again at a sleep clinic this year. The result indicated that I need to be at a higher pressure of 7. After a month, I'm still not sleeping well at this higher pressure. I switched from a fisher and paykel to a Resmed S8 Autoset II because the F&P is making a lot of noises. I wonder how many people has lost weight and had their CPAP pressure increased ...

I had the same experience, this past week I went back to my clinic, and the respitory therapist changed my setting from 8-9 , as I was suddenly not sleeping deeply, though the computer printout said everything was compliant and working well. I am a new woman, back to the deep and rested person that appeared after my diagnosis 17 months ago. I was not retested, we just decided to try a new setting, as it was the easiest way to try something different. I learned that I will have to be vigilant and monitor and adjust when things even subtly change. But, my weight has always been my challenge, now I care if I am overweight, when having obstructions every three minutes all night long for probably 4 years, what I looked like was not a priority. I just wanted to survive each day.
