This is the 3 month report of DW's sleep Apnea issue:
She decided to get the special dental month guard from her dentist. After a few painful nights, and a couple of visits for adjustment, she has soon gotten used to the device. I downloaded a SnoreClock app onto her cellphone. It can record the whole night of sleep.
She scheduled a recurring appointment with the Dr's nutritionist, and she was put on a strict 1300 calorie daily diet with 5 small meals each day. She is also told to walk 10,000 steps daily. The goal is to lose 15 pounds. So, I helped to prepare her meals, and got 2 fitbit devices for us, and walked with her daily for 10,000 steps. It takes 1.5 hrs each day.
I am happy to report that she has now lost exactly 15 pounds by doing the above. We are checking the app recording, and do not hear snore anymore. I think she has done a great improvement.
I think we will give her a treat for a big meal on Mother's day.
