Obstructive Sleep Apnea

A sleep disorder in which the airway repeatedly becomes blocked during sleep, causing breathing to stop and start and often loud snoring. It's strongly linked to excess weight, and is common among people considering bariatric surgery — many patients see significant improvement or resolution after substantial weight loss. Diagnosed with a sleep study and often managed with a CPAP machine.
