Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a condition that impairs sleep, characterized by challenges in breathing while asleep. It obstructs the breathing way such that when sleeping, they feel uncomfortable. This obstruction typically occurs when the muscles in the throat overly relax, limiting airflow.
The conditions that you may experience should you be under OBA include:
In 2025, a study published by ScienceDirect indicated that in 2024, most adults in the US experienced obstructive sleep apnea to the extent that 83.4 million adults were affected. The majority of this data consisted of males (39.1%) compared to women (26.0%). This can influence your health status, particularly when dealing with obesity; the chances of being prone to the OBA in this case can be extreme. Although OSA is often undiagnosed, it has become increasingly prevalent and therefore requires improved screening and primary diagnostic tools so that it can be effectively treated.
Unless it is prevented at the appropriate time, it would bring severe trouble in the future, like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. By identifying at an earlier age, it is easy to recover and live a quality life as before.
At Bodiatrics, there is no one-size solution to the situation. Dr. William Johnson is a bariatric surgeon with over 20 years of experience in treating patients with OSA and resolving their issues through a unique approach to treatment based on scientific principles.
This is how Dr. Johnson makes a difference:
Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Johnson not only examines your breathing flow, but also your weight, health, and lifestyle.
Personalized Treatment: Each person needs a breathing mask or treatment that fits their OSA; the focus should be on their eating and lifestyle that corresponds to their weight.
Bariatric surgeon: The weight may be mismatched in OSA. Surgical weight loss has been a significant aspect that has transformed the lives of many patients. In patients who experience weight loss, snoring decreases, sleep quality improves, and the use of CPAP devices is also high.
Network with a Specialist: Dr. Johnson recommends consulting your sleep specialist or an ENT specialist. We can ensure that you receive a comprehensive rating in 360-degree care.
Ongoing support: Bodiatrics patients will be followed, assisted, and reassessed in the future after surgery. This assists in verifying whether their weight and results have withstood a scheme.
Patients who would not find it easy to get through the day without feeling fatigued are now sleeping well and waking up prepared to live a satisfying and fulfilling day! With everything Dr. Johnson did, it was indirect, personable, and holistic.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea can be something to dread, but with proper instruction, it can be managed effectively. It can be at the hands of change and style of life, CPAP, or bariatric surgery; what you need is to resolve your sleep and your life.
