So I just received the results back from my home sleep test. My doc said he did this just as a precaution ... but it looks like I have severe sleep apnea! And i have to do another test in the clinic overnight. I am so shocked. .. Did anyone else have to go through this? And will it keep me from having surgery in October?

Wow. Have you been tired and fatigued during the day? Shouldn't push back surgery. They'll just send you for your machine and mask fitting. Should get a lot better after surgery

You may want to check with your insurenece and surgen because some may require a time period of complient use ie. like on the CPAP for 2 weeks or 30 days to see if is working and you will weare it. You will need to bring it to surgery with you for you recovery time at hospital. I have used it for 15 years.

Hey Nurselori, the thing is I never noticed! I have always kept busy with multiple jobs working 11 hr shifts and overtime. Also i finished art school a few years ago and pulled tons of all nighters while in school... I guess i just thought my lifestyle of staying busy and being overweight kept me tired! lol

I'm glad I went ahead and did the test my doc had said that out of the bariatric patients he tests 80% of the time they will come back positive even when they have barely any symptoms

i hope this surgery fixes it..I'm even more excited to get to October now!

Hoping to have my surgery in late October! I am required by insurance to do a six month supervised weight loss plan. I have my fifth check in with the dietician next week and my sixth in September! I'm also meeting with my surgeon for the first time next week. I'm getting very excited but extremely nervous!

[Nurselori 37]

There are tons of people on here that have been through everything we are going through and are really great about answering our questions and cheering us on. We're all in this together!!! We're gonna do great, we have bright futures ahead of us

Hey Nurselori! The overnight sleep test was horrible! sleeping with all those wires was difficult. I should get the results back next week. I checked with my WLS office and they just want me to use the machine for at least 30 days before surgery and bring it in day of surgery.
