Be glad! I have zero symptoms and they made me do a home study with sh!tty equipment, and are telling me I have it based on the least scientific process I've ever seen. I have a rant posted here somewhere. Lol

I did this home sleep study to find not too Scientific when you only put a little monitor on your finger lol ... they say severe sleep apnea and I've been given a CPAP machine... mind you I was tested 2012 with mild apnea and I refuse to get a machine back then same test .. lol
I have Kaiser and this is been my record since then 2012 .. they say if I go for an overnight test will probably come out more accurate and I probably would still come up with severe apnea test positive at all .. that is so crazy .. will
they require you to be retested to be approved for surgery??
BTW ..I pretty much been around 40 BMI with both tests ..

I have had to have a sleep study because my Iron is extremely low and I was taking the most iron tablets you take they say if you have this you could have stomach cancer so an endoscopy and a colonoscopy lucky no cancer sent me for sleep study.I stop breathing 19 x an hour which is mild but cos I am having surgery I have to use a breathing machine at night and I hate having to use it but they said only until after operation.Then if I don't want to use which I can't wait to give it back.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
