Sleep Apnea Treatment

Has anyone lost weight once beginging sleep apnea treatment?
In the coming weeks I will start using the CPAP mask to treat my sleep apnea. My neurologist suggested I could lose roughly thirty pounds just by beginning the treatment. I am wondering if anyone has ever lost any weight once they started using a CPAP machine and if so, how much and over how long of a time? Everyone things my doctor is blowing smoke up my butt.
It sounds a bit hard to believe! I have never heard of it, but the doctor would be committing a serious error if he was lying or “joking” without making it clear that he was joking. I have done some research and nothing shows that weight loss is a side effect of the treatment.
