I am concerned. I was previously diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. I underwent surgery about 3.5 years ago. I was not the typical patient as I was only 29yo and not severely overweight. Apparently I had very large tonsels and a deviated septum that resulted in approx. 375 nightly arrousals. I used to get up 4-8 times a night to use the bathroom. The surgery seemed like a dream come true to me. My follow-up sleep study showed me to be cured and the night time bathroom trips went down to 1 or 2, which I could live with. I also lost a good amount of weight and my thinking and memory were much clearer. However, my sleeping has become not as restfull as it was and my nighttime bathroom visits have increased to 3 or 4, which is starting to scare me. My weight has also increased. Any thoughts as to what I should try? I wonder if the surgery helped but didnt completely treat the sleep apnea. The weight increase seemed to increase the bathroom visits. I am a 32yo male, athletic build, 5'6" 192lb (was down to 175lbs and feeling great). Will losing weight help reduce the symptoms? Any help is appreciated!!!
