I failed my sleep study

I got the call on my way home from work and was told that I have mild sleep apnea and I'll need to go back for a second sleep study where they put a Cpap on me for the night. Apparently I stop breathing 10 times a night for about 10 seconds at a time. August can't come soon enough.

      Don't think of it as failure... think of it as another obesity related issue that the sleeve will help you resolve! Hang in there...

      They have different kinds of masks: ones that cover your nose and mouth, and smaller ones that are "nasal pillows" and they just sit under your nose and deliver the pressurized air that way. They're

      I just completed my sleep study two days ago, and have to go back for a cpap trial, as well. As a nurse, I know it helps greatly. I, too am concerned about my claustrophobia flaring up. I can't stand

    It's not pass/fail. You have to wear a cpap from now on. I have had one for three weeks. It took a few days to adjust to but now it's fine. When you have your surgery you'll need to bring your cpap. This shouldn't prevent anything. I had 27 occurrences and hour while I slept. I have 13 days until surgery!!

    Some people never do. Not all sleep related issues are a function of weight. There are many skinny people who use CPAP machines.

    Because its mild sleep apnea, there is a high likelihood of them getting rid of the machine in the future. If you have severe, it's understandable that you might end up with sleep apnea for life
