Good morning and HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Anyway I have some questions that I was hoping some of you great people can help me with

Did you have to do a sleep study thing? If so why do we have to do it?

I'm from New York and am going threw this process with the oband center they have locations in Brooklyn and the city. I'm just wanted to know if people liked them and what their thoughts were about this place??

I'm still have some time to go before stuff gets submitted to my insurance just wanted some help. Have a great day

A sleep study was not required for me they would only do it if your doctor feels you have sleep apnea. I don't know about the center you are having it done at but I wouldnt worry about the sleep study.

It was not required for me since I had a BMI over 40 but if I had a 35-40 I would likely have to have it because you have to have 2 comorbidities for approval in that range

I had to do a sleep study because I exhibited symptoms of sleep apnea. I was fortunate to do an in-home study for 2 nights. I am not sure I would have been comfortable in a sleep clinic setting. It was a requirement for the AETNA policy I had at the time of surgery.

I think it's a requirement for me. The place is about 1 hour away from my house and it's from 9pm-5am. I'm sure I'm not going to be able to sleep either. My BMI is at 41. Oh well I guess I will do it and get over it ha. Thanks.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
