Lose the weight and you have a good chance of getting back to normal. The apnea can be caused because of the resting pressure (weight) on your airway.

Those CPAP masks essentially just give you a hand breathing by giving the air a little push on the way in.

It can do a number on your restorative sleep and lead to all sorts of problems down the road. Walking around like the living dead even when you know you've slept 8 hours is no fun at all.
