Did you surgeon require you to have a sleep study before surgery? I admit I'm terrified at the thought of one (I have severe anxiety) and really really hope I don't have to do one.

Thanks, I've never heard of that test. I Googled it and took it. Comes up as low risk, as I suspected.

I didn't have to have one - I think because my interview with the dr didn't raise red flags (denied sleep issues, etc). Hubby has sleep apnea, so we are pretty aware of the signs.

My biggest sleep issue is a problem falling asleep, so not something related to apnea. If something wakes me up at night (like a cat jumping on my head, knock at the door, those kinds of things) then I have a hard time falling back asleep again. So no signs of apnea at all. I can't wait for my appointment next month so I can talk to the surgeon and it all.

My doctor suggested it but I never did it. My surgeon still did the surgery

Wow!!

I had to do it & am glad did. The CPAP machine has helped me sleep much better (my husband sleeps better as well!).
