Hi Everyone,

My surgeon requested that I have a sleep study and I was lucky enough to get it right away. My sleep study is tonight, but I just wanted to know what to expect from this. I'm a little nervous and scared that I won't be able to fall asleep. Does anyone have any advice? Or can anyone let me know what to expect of the sleep study? Thanks!

You will have glue put on you so they can stick the wires all over you. They even put it in your hair. I had long hair when mine was done and it was hard to wash it out. I didn't sleep much to be honest, but the little I did sleep they were able to get readings on it. I sleep on my stomach and I had to sleep on my back and with so many wires couldn't move without getting tangled. Plus you have a mask on for the study, so that is a pain in the rear too.

Good luck and don't drink any caffeine or anything that will keep you from getting sleepy. I take tylonel pm to sleep and I took it that night. If you use a sleeping aid, take it LOL.

Great I have long hair. That's gonna be a pain! Oh well, it's all for the best. Unfortunately I can't take a sleep aid, they have horrible side effects on me the next day, so I'm just gonna have to tire myself out today. And I also sleep on my stomach, so I'm sure I'm not gonna be too comfortable :smile: Thanks for the advice though. I appreciate it

I was sure that I was never going to be able to sleep with so many wires hooked up to me, plus knowing that someone was watching me kind of freaked me out, but in the end I did fall asleep, and I am sure that you will too. I did take something to help me sleep, and I do recommend that. Hope all goes well!

Do you all know how long it takes for results to come back?? My surgery is 5/19 and I don't want this thing coming back in 2 weeks then I have to have another study to get fitted or whatever and then it pushes me back - anyone have this problem? thanks

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
