I am self pay and the sleep study was actually marked in my packet from the doc as a requirement but once I met with Dr Schmitt and he saw my young age and that I am a lower BMI he said it wasn't required. I just had to do the pre op blood work, and I have to do the nutrition class on the 20th. I did consider doing the sleep study anyway for a bit and my insurance would have paid for one at a sleep study clinic but not the home study and we have EXCELLENT insurance.

Sorry I'm not much help in the requirement department!

Actually that is great for me. I'm barely at 40 bmi. And the sleep study is one of my concerns. I do t want to have to travel 3 hours back and forth to bham for 14 days. I'm also a college student and I work so time is key for me.

I'm in Decatur, AL. I'm using Dr. Mailapur at Huntsville Hospital.

When's your sugery date

@@Mikey I'm not sure if you were talking to me, but my surgery is not scheduled. I've only had 2 of my 7 monthly appointments. I approximate June or July.
