possible sleep study....scared

so my dr's office hasnt been of any help. impretty sure i might have sleep apnea so i want to get a sleep study done cause i want o get the surgery and loose the wieght and look great for next summer but i cant get the ball rolling until my insurence aproves it. sleep apnea runs in my family big time and i have problems sleeping so im going to get it checked out. i didnt want to do this but i will i have to (one) cause i cant sleep and i feel super tired all the time and (two) cause i want lapband!!!!! gah!!! so i just need to ger it started.

I need to schedule one of those too. I am self pay on my banding, but I feel tired all the time too. Unfortunatley the weight is probably the factor in the apnea, so good luck. I hope your insurance company sees lapband as a solution!!!

My insurance paid for the surgery because of my sleep apnea! Good luck, be persistant and it will all work out. I'm in Texas with United health care and didnt have any problem getting aproval for the sleep apnea test.

GOOD LUCK

I will make an appointment with a pulmonologist to get my sleep study. Please double check with your insurance if you need a referral to a specialist.

I had my lap-band with Connecticut Surgeons Center for Obesity Surgery and all patients must schedule consultations with a nutrition consult, pulmonary consult, psychiatric consult and cardiac consult.

I have had a sleep study- it was no big deal. I have had a cpap for the last two years and its helped. Good luck to you!

I was banded last week & I'm so happy I went for it! I've been contemplating it for the past few years.
