Good luck with everything. Don't worry about the sleep study, it's not so bad. They just hook you up with a bunch of wires and then expect you to sleep lol. You will eventually fall asleep, I promise.

Good luck on your journey! Sleep study isn't bad! Just try not to worry yourself too much like I did.

Thank you

sleep study is a breeze if you can get past all the wires, before you know it their waking you up to go home. Good luck!

In my case, I skipped the sleep study. My wife had been complaining for the past few years that I snored and kept her awake. So there was a good chance that I had sleep apnea. When the specialist examined me he wanted to have me take a sleep study. I declined. I said that the condition might disappear with surgery, so if I am having the same problem after surgery, I might consider it. Well I had the surgery and within a few weeks my snoring stopped. Sometimes my wife would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at me intently. I was sleeping so soundly, she thought I was dead and not breathing.

Hi James that's good to hear thanks for the feedback. I'm Looking to have a surgery date sometime in 2/2015.

In my case, I skipped the sleep study. My wife had been complaining for the past few years that I snored and kept her awake. So there was a good chance that I had sleep apnea.

That's interesting that they let you decline it. My insurance didn't give me the option, which I'm glad because with the diagnosis of sleep apnea under my belt my surgery is that much more justified. Honestly I'm not excited about the machine they want to give me but I know it's temporary!

I didn't enjoy the sleep study, just because I have a hard enough time sleeping without all the wires, the different bed, etc. But they were all very nice and did their best to make me comfortable, and I knew it was really important to do. Turns out I stopped breathing 251 times in just 3 hours!

I don't mind the CPAP at all, in fact I actually love it since I sleep better now than I have for years. It's become something very comforting, if that makes sense. I certainly won't be sad to not need it any more after surgery though! :D
