Title: Anyone with sleep apnea have resurfacing?
Post by: bkcamp on October 03, 2009, 10:25:14 PM
Just interested to hear from those who have obstructive sleep apnea who have gone through a resurfacing--what type of anesthesia was used (general vs. epidural) and did you use your CPAP in recovery?

Thanks!

Hi

Before my re-surf I had gotten myself into an horrendous sleep pattern...actually I did not have a sleep pattern !!!

I had an epidural, I still have an unusual way of sleeping, but it is getting better.

Regards
