SLEEP APNEA

By Cici22

· 1570 views

Well the sleep Center call me today and told me that I tested positive for sleep apnea and is severe. So they schedule me appointment to go try the CPAP mask and machine and I have to stay overnight again. In part this will definitely get me approve as a medical necessity however, it's sad that I'm in this predicament. My mother and brother both suffer from this disease, and they let it get horribly bad. But I am going to do everything in my power to not end up with a trachea tube and in a position that I can't barely move. I met my surgeon already I'm in a supervised diet, I'm walking, I'm potion controlling. I'm doing this.

    I was diagnosed with severe apnea last September. I have been using a BiPap with a pressure of 20/16. Now it's one year later and and I have a surgery date of 9/5 for my gastric bypass.

    The test is a pain but worth it. Sleep apnea (severe) is life threatening. we'll overcome it and the weight. I give you credit for facing up to what you have to do at such a young age.

    I hope to hear good things from you in future posts:)
