    The Dr I had to see regarding a sleep study said that the at home ones are not as accurate. It is basically a pulse /ox finger thing that stays on and reports or stores the data for the Dr's office. H

Okay here's the update. The doctor does want me to be tested for sleep apnea so, the company going to send me the materials through the mail to my house and I get to do a sleep study test at home. Thank God! Hopefully this goes well. The surgeon said he doesn't see why I would have any complications , everything looks on the up n up. I'm officially getting the rny gastric bypass and I have 3 more weigh ins with the dietician. After that, we will submit to insurance. Hoping time flies by! I cannot wait to be on the losers bench :)

I've never heard of a home sleep study. That would be cool. The one in the lab sucked and I have to do it again this week with a CPAP machine.

Yeah my surgeon he that with 3 children and a husband is hard to sleep in the lab away from home so he offers this to his patient I think it's awesome I'm so glad :)

The Dr I had to see regarding a sleep study said that the at home ones are not as accurate. It is basically a pulse /ox finger thing that stays on and reports or stores the data for the Dr's office. He did say it's hard to sleep at sleep study too. He looked at my tonsils and checked to see if I had a clear nasal passage. Neck size was done.. I get the sleep part done on the 13th of this month. They figure have it because I snore, have large tonsils and wake every 1-2 hours every night for most part. I wish everyone else best of luck at their appts.

I had to do the sleep study with getting the band. My sleep apnea is bad and makes me extremely tired so I had no problem falling asleep plus the rooms look like small hotel rooms but then they sick sensors all over your head. They said in an eight hour period I maybe get 3 hours of sleep. Not fun... I won't have to redo it for my band to bypass because they already know I have it.
