CPAP, sleep apnea - no more. How do I cleared from dot exam perspective?

I used a cpap for 4 years. I’ve lost a lot of weight and no longer use it. How do I get cleared as far as dot exams go? I was just planning on not putting it in there next time I get an exam, but legally, what kind of hoops do I need to jump through to no longer be required to use a cpap.

 

That’s what I was afraid of. I don’t wanna, lol. Sleep study is a pain in the butt, but if that’s what it is...oh well

 

Went from 300 lbs to 220 in a year (6 ft). Still on the path of losing more weight, of course.

Used the cpap religiously this whole time. About a month ago, I decided to try sleeping without it. No headaches when I wake up, no snoring, sleeping through the night, feel fully rested and not drowsy during the day (all my previous symptoms). So yes, I’m “assuming“ I no longer need it.

 

True. Just feel I don’t need it, and hate all the red tape. It’s been nice carrying one less bag when I get home/go out once a week lol.

Plus, dot examiner is gonna want a print out of my usage when I do the exam, so I’m going to have to use it I guess.

Ive heard of those home studies. Guess I could look into that. Going to the pulmonologist and scheduling a sleep study an making sure I’m home to sleep in the clinic is just a pain in the butt.

 

Thanks!
