<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

Guys, today is a HUGE day for me.

I was diagnosed with SEVERE sleep apnea around January, which is when I decided to start losing weight.

For those that don't know, obstructive sleep apnea is when your airway collapses when you sleep (usually from being fat) and you stop breathing, making you wake up for a few seconds, and then fall back asleep. It is a serious medical condition that causes all sorts of medical problems.

I was 274 pounds at 26 years old, and I was tired of it. I had to get a CPAP machine, which is a big machine with a mask you wear while you sleep that forces air down your throat. Not fun, and very tough to get used to. To make matters worse, it would leave red marks on my face all day from wearing the mask at night.

So last night, after losing 115 pounds since January (after 9 months of calorie-counting, I'm now 159.2 lbs), I had another sleep study to see if I still have the sleep apnea. 

This morning, the sleep technician came in and said my weight-loss cured my sleep apena, and I can get rid of the mask and CPAP machine!!

I can sleep normal again!!

Thanks again to everyone here for all the help and support!!
