    I'm not far - from Lucedale! My date is May 18th w/Dr Jenkins in Ocean Springs. My bf used Weinstein and had a great experience!

  • Daphne, AL here! Dr. Jenkins in Ocean Springs did my surgery on December 19, 2011 and my fiance's April 20,2012. What a fantastic clinic!

I didn't sleep with CPAP THIS TIME BUT SHE SAID I WILL NEED IT FOR MY NEXT STUDY THURSDAY.

  • Author

Oh I was thinking you did it last Thursday not tomorrow.

From the tiny photo you don't look overweight; if you in fact have apnea it should improve after weight loss.

Thanks for the compliment. I am 5'7 and 239 lbs. my bmi is 37.1 so I'm not as high of a BMI as some but I am considered obese unfortunately. I went to my study part 1 on Monday and I go for the second part tomorrow. So I will keep you posted.

I am here at the sleep center and she has confirmed that I have sleep apnea. I have to sleep with CPAP tonite. I want to know what all does this mean? I'm so nervous and I don't wanna be 55 at 34 years of age.

I'm done with sleep study and slept with the CPAP , which was very uncomfortable. I have an appr with the dic on June 7 and ws told report shud be given to my surgeon in one week so hopefully they will submit it then.

I had 3 months from other weight loss programs. I completed 90 consecutive days with SMSWLC/ Dr. Avara. I don't think that weight watchers will qualify. I like Dr. Avara because he's easy to approach and down to earth.
