Sleep study moved up to today



Recommended Posts

So, my original sleep study test was scheduled for 9/18. I just got a call from Sleep Solutions saying they had an opening for tonight if I wanted to do it. I said yes after I made arrangements for my daugther. So after tonight, it looks like I'll have all my requirements when I meet with the surgeon on 9/16. Everything seems to be going fast!!

I've never done a sleep study, kinda wondering if I'll even sleep well with all this stuff attached to me.

My pulminologist actually gives me a Lunesta to take for the test... bless the man. LOL

Diagnosed with sleep apnea before my sleeve last Dec. Down 84 lbs since then and going for a retest in a couple of weeks... he thinks I can come off the CPAP ????

Last night was the Worst sleep I've ever had. I could not find a comfortable position to sleep in. I'm a belly sleep but was told I'd have to be on my back or side. I was tired and trying to fall sleep at 10:15pm. It wasn't until sometime after 12:30am that I fell asleep and it wasn't a great sleep because I kept waking up. I never have problems going to bed at home, just ask my husband lol. He gets mad because a minute after my head hit's the pillow I'm sleeping. That was not the case last night. I hope they got enough testing to get their diagnosis.

So like. When I have this sleep study will I just go there in the evening before bedtime and sleep and then get up on time to go to work? Or am I there forever?

I had mine several years ago and different centers have different protocols, but yes, that is basically what happens.

When I had mine they woke me up half way through the night and gave me a cpap. That was as a good time for me to go to the bathroom, too.

Then, they woke me up in the morning. They had shower and bathroom facilities.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
