That is strange but I guess every place is different in getting reports depending on the lab that's doing the test. Before I got my lap band I went through sleep apnea testing And was diagnosed with OSA. After going from 240 pounds 165 pounds I still had the same score on my sleep apnea test or the same restriction.
After getting my sleep apnea machine prior to my banding, I believe I did have to wait a week or two For my surgery and a date to become available.
When you're looking for a device for your sleep apnea For a mask should I say Make sure you try all the options the night of your sleep study. I chose the one that just went over my nose because I am not a mouth breather or someone who snores. There are several different styles to choose from. If you do suffer from OSA( Obstructed sleep apnea). When you wear your mask at night you will notice a drastic improvement in your quality sleep for as little or as much as you get.
