GOOD. Here is some more hope for you.
My fiancee whom I absolutely love and adore, is not a small man. He has HORRIBLE apnea. Like BAD. Some nights, I promise you, I have dreamed about putting a pillow over his head and smothering him. Snores, snorts, choking, horrible. He has had this problem since birth, so it is not BECAUSE of his size (he is 6'1 and 293 and his dad makes him look small heh). Anyway it is not because of his size, but his weight for SURE makes it worse. And when I tell you that its bad, OMG I wish this forum had sound. Not kidding.
Anyway, when we first started dating, it was bad but not to the epic level of bad that it was a month ago. I think I spent more time sleeping down stairs on the couch with the four dogs snoring in the next room than I did in my own bed! We went on South Beach for the final time six weeks ago. I say final because I am sick and tired of being fat, sick and tired...and his breathing was SO bad I was scared.
So now 20 lbs later, I can actually sleep next to him without much complaint. Which is nice, because it is getting cold and he is a cuddler! When before, I used to have to be sound asleep before him, and then keep poking him to get him to get out of my ear, or even out of my general direction....now i can sleep next to him. Is nice
and I do not worry QUITE so much.
