Weight Loss

I've lost 40lbs. Should I be retested and is there a possibility I might be able to do away with the mask all together?

    Hi , I would suggest speaking with your doctor. I myself lost 140 lbs. and continue to have severe sleep apnea. Congrats on the weight loss, keep up the great work.
