Lots of insurances are only approving home studies. If I wait for my insurance I would go pick up test then drop it off. I order online I mail it back.

I had to do a sleep study and had the choice between going to a facility or an in home study. I chose the in home study and did it just last Wednesday night. I don't think I had an option to choose the provider, my doctor told me who to use and had the provider contact me directly (and they were also covered by my insurance).

The technician came to my house and hooked me all up and everything was transferred/monitored online. The next morning when I woke I just removed all the sensors, etc and the technician came back by the house and picked them up.

Not sure if this is the same as the online study you are talking about??

No I order a machine it is mailed to me and then I mail it back the next day. I just don't know if the results will be good enough for the bariatric surgeon. I don't know if I should wait for my insurance or save money and get it on my own.

@@lisa0617 I would ask your surgeons office. They will probably have a list of approved providers. Would hate for you to go through all the trouble and then not be able to use the results.

If possible to use your insurance I would. Mine paid 80% so my portion was only a little over $100.00. I have United Healthcare and had no issue with them covering it and didn't need pre-approval or anything. The sleep study has actually been the easiest part of the process for me.

I will have to pay the whole cost and if I go through insurance my portion will be between 500 to 2900. I can't afford this on top of my portion for the surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
