I have to pay $500 for 3 sessions and a report. Anyone have someone they recommend in the Philadelphia area that may be cheaper?

Thanks for the answer. I am also a nurse but was wondering if there were any other recommendations that are made in this process.

Yes be glad you getting all this cleared up before surgery. The important thing is now to eat in order to heal appropriately. Take heart! You will get it done.

I had one and now have a CPAP machine. While I am upset to have this, I know more than ever that I have to get this done as I do not want this to be a permanent condition.
