My understanding is that central apneas are caused by the brain, rather than obstructive apneas which are caused by tissue. Could be wrong, but that's what my sleep specialist told me when I was getting checked out. So weight wouldn't have anything to do with central apneas.

That's fair, and I'm sorry to hear that you're going through that. I hope treatment goes well for you!
