It got approved!!!!! I'm so shocked, but also excited. I get to go pick up the equipment tomorrow morning. This is my last hurdle before I can meet the surgeon! Even if it turns out I DO have sleep ap

Had my consultation for my sleep study today -- the last step before I finally get to see the surgeon and submit everything to insurance.
Aaaand my recommendation for an at-home sleep test got sent for clinical review.
I'm so worried this is going to hold the entire process up. I have ZERO symptoms of sleep apnea and my bariatric center is sending me for the study simply because I've never had one. If insurance denies it, I don't know if they'll let me go forward without it. Even the sleep doc said that a negative at-home test doesn't absolutely mean no sleep apnea, and there's no way I can pay for a lab test out of pocket.
Ugh. I'm so stressed now. I keep wondering if I should have just said I snore, said I'm tired all the time... but I'm not! I had surgery on my legs back in March and my mom and my fiancee got to spend a great deal of time watching me sleep, so I know I don't snore or stop breathing!
Did anyone else run into this issue??? I know sleep studies are par for the course, so surely other people must have been in this noisy, but I'm freaking out.
