Thanks for the info. It does indeed sound serious... I hope you get approved. I go for my orientation on January 22nd.

Thanks Jencys fro your reply. You know so much about sleep apnea! It sounds from your description that my little mistake could not have caused the sleep apnea diagnosis. I agree that my sleep apnea is caused by my weight and would probably go away if I ever lost weight... I'm wondering why does the insurer consider sleep apnea so serious that they will approve me even though I'm not 40 bmi? Do you know? btw, I have mild sleep apnea. Anyway, I'm just really grateful to be approved. Thanks! :welldoneclap:

well, keep trying and hopefully your persistence will pay off!

For my test, we took the machine home and hooked ourself up before going to bed. By mistake, instead of my finger, I put my thumb in the hole, which was a tight fit and uncomfortable all night.... now I wonder if that's why I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea? My bmi is (only, haha) 35, but that test is the only reason they approved the surgery!

My bmi is 35 and I was approved...because it turns out I have mild sleep apnea too. My advice, take all the tests possible, I never suspected I had sleep apnea, but that was the reason I got approved! Good luck.

Thanks everybody for your reply. I think I can live with that.. This forum is great getting all my questions answered!

Hi. I've been approved, but haven't gotten the lapband yet. I'm wondering if you can still take baths once you have the lapband? I was wondering if it causes a problem with the port? Please excuse me for asking a silly question... but I do love taking bubble baths! Thanks.
