I salute you for making yourself go. I'm at 329 lbs and I don't want to hear what I already know or hear what I don't want to know. Kinda stupid, but I'll get there. Good luck on the blood work.

It has pushed me to watch my diet alot more.( I am way over weight) I also went to the sleep clinic and I have sleep apnea. The mask is hard to get used to but it makes such a difference in my life now. If you do have it ask for the nasal mask. It is big and bulky and much more comfortable. Good luck with all your results! If you do have any questions about "the Mask" lol.. email me I will be happy to answer them for you. <strong>Thanks Sherri - good for you for going to your physical. As you <a href="http://www.johnisfit.com/2009/07/10/my-visit-to-a-sleep-clinic-overnight-sleep-study/">may have read</a> I do have severe sleep apnea and I am using the nasal mask as you suggested.</strong> Hi John,

A friend of mine has got a husband with (severe) sleep apnea, and he has to wear this quite substantial mask at night, and it is not such a great experience to go through. Good Luck! <strong>It sure doesn't look pretty but I've heard that for sleep apnea sufferers that mask is a godsend. I actually hope I do have sleep apnea, because then I'll be able to do something about my symptoms.</strong> John, I hope that your visit to the sleep clinic will show that you do not have sleep apnea.

I know I don't, I've never had one and I'm 35 I just go to the doctors when I'm feeling ill, which to be perfectly honest is stupid. We get free health care through the NHS so I may an annual physical done when I've dropped my body fat percentage a little bit more. <strong>I totally get why you say "when I've dropped my body fat percentage a little bit more" but I really urge you to get over that - just go! You don't got anything they haven't seen before and if they are good they'll make you feel perfectly at home.</strong> Here in the UK most people don't have annual physical examinations.
