  2. That's awesome!!! I have been waiting for you lol so then I'm looking at November. .. well at least it gives us a month to get life in order. I'm so excited for you. Thanks I'm so ready!!! What did you do at the appt @ fordgirlalways
  3. I have mild apnea they said.... it's really hard for me to sleep with it. I can get like 4 hours before I'm up and taking it off. I'm use to sleeping on my stomach and it's hard to do with that tube.
  4. I'm not sure I did have to have ??goop?? Lol I took a wrist watch thing home for my test and then brought it back. *didn't
  5. I have been approved for surgery. My consult with surgeon is Sept 25. So I'm hoping g for October or November surgery.
  6. I'm glad they found it... everything happens for a reason. You will be on your way soon.
  7. No surgery date yet but I'm hoping oct early nov.
  8. I have my consult with my surgeon next month so I have been through the sleep apnea test already. I didn't think I had sleep apnea and come to Find out I do. I know once I found in had it I had to use it every night since that appt. Do I use it??? Not really. I understand the importance of it but I work 2 jobs and I do not get any sleep with it on. It's really uncomfortable and it wakes me up every night. It is very quiet and I have the newest version on the machine but I can't get use to it. My surgeon required you to bring it on day of surgery or you will not have surgery. Hopefully you have better luck with it than I do. I have tried different mask and everything but I can't get use to it. Good luck guys!
  9. Yea well they scheduled my my consult sept 25 almost 2 months out so I was hoping I can get my date on the day. They said Dr McArthur would not be back until sept.
  10. @@MaureenVA how long after your approval did you go for your consult. And how long after your consult did you get your date

  15. That's awesome. Mine took 2 weeks. I got a call yesterday for my consult date on Sept 25. I hope everything goes great for you. Keep us posted.
  16. That's great. I will get a surgery date on Sept 25. I have kaiser so I had to go through a 6 month preparation program first. I will be glad when all the wait is over. I was required to do all the testing and eval during my 6 months so hopefully there is not much I ill need to do before surgery. Good luck on your approval.
  17. So this past Tuesday my case was reviewed and approved for the vsg! Yesterday I got a call from the surgeons office that my consult will be sept 25. Which is almost 2 months away. So I'm probably having my surgery in october. Or early November. This is def linger than I anticipated, however I'm am grateful that I was approved with no hassle. Did anyone else have a big gap from approval to their first appt or surgery date? Who else will be having surgery in the fall?
  18. Yeah by the time it finally happens it will be almost a yr that I started this. At least we know it's coming. I hope oct too. Did you choose Dr cantor or mccarthy
  19. So do you think surgery will be oct or Nov
  20. They just called me too. I'm meeting him on Sept 25. But that's just the first appt. We still have to wait for an actual surgery date. That seems long.
  21. Yes. I will let you know when I find something out. Keep me posted
  22. That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. We should def be buddies since everything is happening at the same time. Had anyone called you to make an appt. Yet with the surgeon?
  23. Thats great! One of the surgeons is out on maternity leave so i doubt my surgery will be in aug. Good luck
