Sleep Apnea?

[mrsaizsha_101 23]

Hey, I am waiting for my appointment with my bariatric doctor thats nxt week but in the mean time I wanted to be productive. I had an appointment with the sleep doctor. She ordered a sleep study for me. Im wondering if they say I have sleep apnea will it delay the process for my surgery, will I have to be on the machine for a certain period of time before I can have the surgery? Just curious as to how this works. Thanx for the advice!

It should not mean that you cannot have the surgery or would have to wait longer. If you have it, they will want you to bring your CPAP with you to the hospital.

It may also help your case for surgery because it would be considered a co-morbidity.

I had been diagnsed 10 years ago but never use the machine. My doctor would not do the surgery without me being CPAC machine. I got on the machine only two weeks ago. It has not impacted my surgery date.

My son's doctor told him they would cancel the surgery if he showed up without the CPAC.
