I have a question that I'm hoping someone out there can answer. Since my BMI is right under 40, my Surgery Coordinator says that I need to prove a comorbidity, like sleep apnea in order for my insurance to cover WLS. Since my cardiologist had recommended that I have a sleep study done, I did. The sleep technician told me ahead of time that if my sleep apnea was bad, she would wake me at 2am and put the CPAP machine on me. Well, needless to say, mine wasn't bad because they didn't have to wake me and hook me up to CPAP. When I asked her in the morning if I was snoring, she say "Oh Yeah", but when I asked her if I had any apnea, she said she couldn't tell me. She did say if I did it wasn't bad enough to do the split study, but she did say that I was going to have to come back in for a second night and sort of gave me a look like I should know what that meant. Well, I don't. So my question to you guys is, in your experience, since I've been asked to come back in, does that mean I have sleep apnea. (She said test results could take 2 weeks- and I'm curious)

Not sure, but I believe if you had no sleep issues they wouldn't ask you back for another night!

I had my sleep study done a few years ago but I remember this thing happening to me. Something about the apneas not showing up really bad - the second night test is a different way for them check your sleep. I do have sleep apnea and currently sleep with a CPAP machine.

It is normal - I just wish I had more info to give you
