I'm a 27 year old mother of 2 I'm 5'7 and weigh 220lbs and at some point, I would like to get a mommy makeover but first I'll have to lose 60lbs and maintain it, however, I just recently had a sleep study done and have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Does OSA mean I'm no longer a candidate for this elective surgery?

Answer: Sleep Apnea The sleep apnea does not necessarily exclude you from being a candidate. You might find that your condition improves with weight loss. Once you are at your weight goal, you can seek medical clearance for the condition. Good luck!

Answer: Sleep apnea and mommy makeover Thanks for your question! It is great that you are losing the weight, and this will likely help with your sleep apnea. Your anesthesiologist can work with you to design an anesthesia plan that takes your sleep apnea into account and minimize any effects it could have on your procedure.
