Can you loose weight using cpap machine?

YES!: Proper treatment of sleep apnea may cause weight loss in obese/overweight patients. To put it another way, patients with sleep apnea gain weight if not properly treated.

Yes: CPAP can help you lose weight in many ways. You should have more energy during the day leading to increased activities. There are also hormonal changes that occur with sleep deprivation that can be normalized leading to easier weight loss.
