I lost weight with bariatric surgery and was able to discontinue my cpap after a year. 5 years later, I've kept the weight off, eat a very healthy clean diet, don't drink or smoke. But had to resume cpap use, probably because of age (I'm 75) and maybe the way my throat is shaped. I've gained 5+ pounds with no changes to my diet. Has anyone experienced this? I wear a full face mask nightly.

Hi @Lindamg

How are you doing today?

Congrats on losing weight and keeping it off! That is always a hard task!!

Let me see if anyone can speak to age being a factor of needing to revert back to CPAP.

Have you found yourself needing your CPAP machine after a long while off of it with little changes in lifestyle? Have you found your age to be a factor? What other ideas do you have to a sudden re-need for CPAP?

Take care,
