Hi everyone.

My doctor ordered a sleep study done as a prerequisite to sleeve surgery. I have to say that I hated the experience. I cannot believe I was able to sleep at all. Anyway, the tech told me that she could not give me any information about my test. But I'm thinking that because they didn't wake me last night to have me put on a mask and use the c-pap machine-then maybe I don't have it? She had me try on 3 different masks in case they had to put one on me during my stay there. I did ask her if I snored last night and she told me not much at all. Kills me to wait around for the tests we have to have. I quit caffeine a month ago and have been sleeping better and for longer periods. I think getting used to one of those machines and mask would be VERY difficult.

lol onmywaytobeingfound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Braver than I am for sure!!! I had a lot more wires on me than you have. How'd you sleep that night?

:-) sleep? What sleep?! I slept maybe 3 hours on and off. I woke up at 3:45 and couldn't go back to sleep. I was miserable. You would think that this day and age there'd be a better way than all that. I came back no sleep apnea!

My dos was 12/30/14. Spent 2 nights in hospital. By the time I came home I wasn't snoring any more while on my back!

How'd you do on your study?

They said I had 31 episodes=severe sleep apnea

So I have an appointment the 19th to get my machine.....

I thought I didn't have sleep apnea because they never woke me to put me on the cpap machine...said my episodes didn't start until near the end of the study (they wanted us out a little after 6 a.m. Which sounds weird to me because why would I have them near the end of 8 hours and not any other times???

Sorry you have it, but at least they can help you. Maybe you'll even sleep better after you get your machine :-)

I know their times are crazy at the sleep studies! I think some of that was on my mind also. Knowing a person could walk into my room while I'm asleep, and stranger at that. It freaks me out bad enough if I wake up to one of my kids by my bed!! I guess one too many scary movies.

I got the test results from my sleep study yesterday, and I'm shocked it came back negative for sleep apnea. I snore so loudly that my husband can't get to sleep unless he goes to bed half and hour before me.

What a shock and a real set-back to my getting approved with a BMI of 37. My insurance coordinator suggested I make an appointment with one of the doctor's at the sleep center to get a consult and see if we should do the test a second time. Beyond approval for the sleeve, I also just want to be sleeping better! I am tired all of the time and wake up with wicked headaches.

You should ask them what your sleep efficiency was... If for some reason you didn't have a lot of time in REM then you might not have had enough apneic events on the test. Did the sleep center have you come back to explain the test results?
