Finally got the results back from my sleep study, and surprisingly, I do have sleep apnea. And ever so kindly (without my request) the solution that the doc put on my results specifically said "needs to participate in a structured weight loss program"!!!! When the nurse called me back she was so excited and said this would be all I need to have the band done. Now I have to have the doctor/surgeon send my records to Walter Reed to have them approve me for surgery! Hopefully I can get this all over with before summer! Wish me luck!
