Sleep Test
I had a sleep study done. It is to see if you h e sleep apnea which is when u stop breathing in your sleep . They have you stay overnight and hook up a bunch of wires to you and then tell you to sleep ! Ya right you don't sleep much!! Anyways I do have it but my surgeon is ok with it he said they just needed to know so that when I am under they do some things differently not sure what exactly . He also said once I loose the weight it most likely will go away on its own!

Sleep Study
i did a sleep study at the doctors office, they had a seperate place with rooms and beds, found it very hard to sleep. They told me if we wake u up in the middle of the night to wear the cpap then you have sleep apnea bad. They didnt wake me up thought I was all good, but then I get call from doctor saying we want you to do it again this time wearing the mask, well at 600.00 dollars out of my own pocket for this I politely refused, and it was fine with my doc he said most likely your sleep apnea will go away once i lose weight
