Starting pre op diet today. Buckling up for the ride!

Praying you get your approval and get the earliest date possible. I will be sleeved on July 7th and everyday is a countdown for me. Best of blessings to you.

Thank you Jane. That is the bottom line. I'm ready to live! Your words touched home.

Thank you. I know that this is for my betterment just wondering if anyone understood. I love this site it really helps to have support.

Hi all. So I'm doing my sleep study tonight and start my pre open diet next week, but today I had a massive uncontrollable crying fit feeling like I'd brought all this on myself. It could've been avoided and I didn't work hard enough. Anyone else felt pre surgery guilt?

Honestly at first I was going to ignore the sleep apnea suspicion I had since I'm a self pay and it wasn't urged by the Dr doing my surgery, after talking to my bestie who had the bypass a year ago about people having deaths after surgery because this illness wasn't addressed. Take every precaution with your life. I have a study scheduled next Wednesday.

I had the same concern.

That's fine you can tell me what to expect...

Hi mizzliz, I am having mine with Dr. Almanza, too. I am the week before you - too bad we will miss each other!

I haven't been officially diagnosed yet but I made an appointment to see a sleep specialist that my insurance does cover. Thanks for the info all.

I do have sleep apnea, but it was diagnosed over a year before my surgery. I was sleeved a little over two weeks ago, and I'm still using my CPAP. I haven't noticed any difference other than the headgear fits looser. It was a co-morbidity and helped me qualify with my insurance, and I'm told it should improve and/or go away with continued weight loss.

MizzLiz....have you been diagnosed with sleep apnea?

*Fingers crossed, thanks Sylvia.

Hi I'm scheduled for surgery in Mexico July 7th whoo hoo! But I am worried about my medical risks. Since the surgery isn't covered by my ins I'm concerned that a sleep test although not required for Mexico may be necessary...anyone with sleep apnea had the surgery? What is your thoughts? Thanks.

July 7 at Jerusalem in Mexico. I'm just worried. Will my sleep apnea cause me complications? Still researching and praying.
