That is odd. I hope it all works out. My SS Center called to pre cert me a couple days before and then confirmed my coverage before the procedure. Seems like that should be the norm.

I just want you guys to know how serious sleep apnea really is. A girl that is overweight that I have known since I was about 12 years old went to sleep one night and she did not wake up the next morning. She died from sleep apnea. She was married and a

my BMI is at about 38.1. I have my first doctors appointment/consultation on May 4. My sugars are good. I know I have high cholesterol, and blood pressure is good. I do have arthritis in my lower back around my L5 disc that hurts me pretty bad, including my hands and thumb. I also have planter fasciitis and Incontinence.

So basically I have no other comorbidity other than high cholesterol. Don't laugh at this but I have recorded myself sleeping. I snore wake up, wake up snore wake up, and it goes on. I wake up tired. Trust me I don't want to have sleep apnea but do you think that there is a chance based on what I am telling you that I might have a little bit. I know I don't go into REM sleep all of the time. I do have to take something to help me sleep and even with that I snore and wake up snore and wake up. My snores are not very loud. I used an app called dream pro in case you ever want to record yourself.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
