I have less apneas when sleeping on my left side to I try to do that and use a pillow that keeps me propped up.

I was about 95 pounds heavier at my highest weight so I was lucky that fat loss seems to have gotten rid of it.

I haven't gone in for another sleep study, but as far as I can tell it's gone. It used to be very obvious to people around me when I quit breathing at night. A friend who used to do sleep studies told me she can no longer hear me quit breathing and I no longer have that feeling of overwhelming exhaustion plus I don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore.
