Introducing myself...

I'm 36 yrs old... current weight is 255. I'm worried because I'm 5'10" and my BMI has only ever hit 40 when I was pregnant. I suspect I have sleep apnea and will be getting a sleep study done soon. How bad is it that I want to be diagnosed with that so I can qualify?! This is such an emotional roller coaster. I don't know what I'm asking... I guess just some support from those who have been through Aetna.

I also have a BMI of 37, do you have any comorbidities? I have elevated BP, but never been treated for it...I was hoping to lose the weight. Now I am having a sleep study to try the sleep apnea diagnoses.

Wife and I both have had no problems with Aetna. My wife is about your build.

Thanks for all the responses!! I have an appointment with the pulmonologist on Thursday so hopefully I will know more about the possible sleep apnea. Fingers crossed, lol!
