So had my sleep study done..got a call last night (at 8pm??) that at my next appointment (diet 2 of 6) that I need to meet with the sleep specialist. So after reading through the paperwork they just emailed me, I am thinking I may have sleep apnea. So I think that is a good thing since my insurance will have less of a reason to fight this. I am at 38.6 BMI, and this is a major plus for me. Anyone else go through this?

Yep, sounds like they'll fit you for a CPAP And you are absolutely right, it's a check box for insurance approval.

I too was lower BMI and when I got diagnosed w/ sleep apnea, that was my only comorbidity and was enough to get approved.

^{I hope so. I had to change to a ppo, so wait for that. Then go on a 6 month "diet plan" so I finally went for my first visit in October, and my EKG on 10/25 which they tell me was "abnormal ", so I have to go have a stress test on 11/25 ( soooooo excited for that one), so I am a little nervous on that. Then my sleep study on 11/4, and this comes up. The EKG stuff has me a little on edge on what that means, especially because they won't tell you anything over the phone and your appointments are a month apart, so you sit and wait. But I guess if I have sleep apnea it's a plus on my end for getting the surgery moving a long!!}
