The CPap won't mess with the surgery at all. You'll just need to bring it with you. Since the surgery I have stopped snoring and don't use my machine anymore. You'll be fine. I found out the same way you did.

I also did my sleep study last week when the tech arrived with CPAP during the night I thought I was going to go into a panic attack. Just what I need more comorbities... I don't know how I can make myself sleep with that horrid thing between now and surgery

Go through the motions of getting the machine and bring it to the hospital. I also had mild sleep apnea and wearing the machine on the hospital overnight was peace of mind. Sleep apnea is worse after anesthesia and narcotic pain killers. I have not used it since being home.

I had the test. I was told I had moderate sleep apnea. That I stop breathing an average of 9 X per hour and that my O2 levels go down to 70 each time. Then I never heard another word, no CPAP no nothing. That was a waste of 225.00 out of pocket.

I couldn't have my surgery until I did my 30 day compliance. I had to use the CPAP machine for 30 days straight and then the report was sent to the doctor before my appointment. If I didn't do this then my surgery would be cancels and also insurance would not pay for the machine.

Check with your insurance and with your surgeon's policy.

Hopefully that was just your insurance. Mine didn't require that.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
