Desperately need a psychiatrist for psych clearance in Central NJ.I only have names of Southern Jersey and that's too far.

I have been jumping through the hoops all done except psych evaluation and I just went to the pulmonary dr and discovered it is more than 99% chance that I have sleep apnea....I have to have a sleep study done.I can't ever remember having a full night of sleep.

I am so busy trying to get all the needed testing for the revision approval.I never thought about the fact that...I was never tested for Sleep Apnea.I hope my insurance approves the overnight testing.I can't remember the last time I had a good nights rest.

#26 My initial sleep test revealed 35 episodes an hour of apnea, which put me in the severe range, this was 8 years ago. Now, 5 months after gastric bypass, my CPAP pressure went from 18 to 13, I am at 5 episodes an hour average. My MD thinks I will always need it, as my brother and Dad, neither overweight, both have/had severe sleep apnea (my Dad's was never treated, his heart was likely damaged as a result, died at 91). I, like DJMOHR, am so used to the CPAP, it and sleep are very closely linked. I am 100# down, but likely even at goal weight (another 80#) will still need the CPAP. We will see! You are doing fantastic!!!100 pounds loss is amazing!!!

I think I have sleep apnea .I am scheduled for a study.I need clearance before surgery so this needs to be addressed.Lets see what happens.Insurance is a Bit___h!!!Unpredictable

I think I have sleep apnea...he had me open my mouth,he looked dawn my throat and said he could actually see a restricted palate.Interesting.

I just had my pulmonary consultation.I have to get a sleep study...gotta get it done before medical clearance.

I am now going for the bypass so I am cheering you on.I have the acid reflux and all that good stuff associated with the lapband.My friend is a firs timer and just had the sleeve she is doing nicely.For me I have metabolic issues and PCOS.RNY all the way.

Sleeves can have ulceration so and leakage.Something t consider

I am a 14 year lap bander...miserable...going full forward with bypass...not even considering the sleeve...I did and finally decided to give with the gold standard...:-)

What type of stress test did you have the echo and nuclear 4 hour or the 45 minute...?I was scheduled for the four hour test and my insurance denied it so I go for the 45 minute textures test ..no echo either...ugh...nervous

I was suppose to have an ego and nuclear stress test...my insurance just denied it so I have the 45 minute stress test...ugh...pulmonary consultation this Friday...both this Friday. Nervous

I have had this forever...threading .

Hi Lynda I would get a second opinion.Sounds weird to me.

I wish I was pressured by my doctor when I first had WLS 15 years ago.I should of gone with the RNY.I went with the lapband.Fast forward....I am seeking revision to the RNY.

??? Need info

Great to hear.I am encouraged.

Proud2beme Get over yourself....There is no "Shoulda"Woulda".If you have never been violated then "Have a seat"!!!You deserved to be set straight...who cares whether "You don't know what happened"?What in the hell does that mean???You weren't violated great for you!!!Using words like "perceived" in that holier than thou tone.Get over yourself,This is her story...her crisis....Newsflash.."Law & Order"has been cancelled.

This is outrageous.All Americans should know this about that clinic .I feel that this doctors office should be exposed.I am there with you girl.Take care of yourself.You are a heroine.

I am running a bit late...saw the cardiologist...ordered 2 heart tests...stress ECK.Also see pulmonary dr ....not sure what that entails.Psych...got to schedule that appt....pushing end of November for submittal to insurance.

What's your insurance?

Anybody have experience with them for revisions from Lapband to Bypass?
