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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
