Sleep Apnea And Obesity

Let's talk about obesity and sleep apnea a little bit. Right now we treat about 10,000 patients with these drugs called GLP1 agonist, semaglutide, tirzepatide. Weight loss been very successful with it. These drugs are generally not covered by insurance for weight loss. So we've developed a system where it's very affordable and you can get onto it for a reasonable amount of money and lose weight that you want. There will be sober weight. You want to lose some weight. We're getting them out of stomach. Glutide. Are we routinely measuring our sleep? The answer is no. We need to. But we're not, we're not doing that. So I'm going to re look at how we approach this and I'll tell you why. If you are overweight or obese and you have sleep apnea, your best efforts, I'm not talking specifically about using the medication, but your best efforts are sometimes futile until you treat the sleep apnea.
