    My b. friend has severe sleep apnea along with irregular heart. He is also over-weight.
    He uses a c-pap machine. It takes a little getting use to but it WORKS!

    I have a co-worker who had a severe sleep apnea, he did not like the C-pap machine and opted for the surgery. He is also very over-weight.


    If you are over-weight loose the weight. Give the machine a chance, it
    might take some getting use to. My B-in-law never liked it.
    The surgery for sleep apnea is an option for a last resort.

    My brother is quite over weight -- but he's losing slowly. He also uses the c-pap machine. He said the first night he wore it, he knew he would never get any sleep. But, he slept well and the next morning he was amazed at how tired he WASN'T. He had realized that he hadn't been sleeping thru the night.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.
