I did not have to do a sleep study. I did not have sleep apnea and I never had a fat neck area.

[FrankyG 1,450]

Nope. I had no symptoms of apnea, and as I was self pay, they didn't make it a requirement.

[Bufflehead 6,358]

No sleep study here. No symptoms of apnea so no reason for it.

[chycky 671]

I did not. I was worried because anesthesiologist asked about when I had Egd. I don't wake up in night or have problems sleeping. I don't know if deviated septum surgery from years ago played into them believing that I can breathe fine. But I told them my preference would be to avoid one as I hardly want to give up precious, comfortable sleep to sleep study.

Plus I met surgery criteria without it. I think it is one thing used to help with insurance but it can factor in to your ability to cope with anathesia.

I would ask as better to get over with asap if needed as it seemed time consuming.

I think it's another one of those "depends on the patient and surgeon". I had one prior to my consult but I believe they would have required one if not.

I have the pulmonary eval in a week and was wondering if they would just recommend the sleep study or do some other tests to see if I need it

It may help you are trying to get insurance to pay. Many obese patients do snore, and may have apnea. I went for it, as it was just another added co-morbidities. I was diagnosed with an average case, but I'm sure it helped. I've never used a machine and have been put under anesthesia a few times without issues.

I didn't snow any symptoms but since my dad has sleep apnea and it is hereditary they did have me do a sleep study which I passed.

I think they do a questionnaire type assessment but not sure. I dreaded the sleep study but actually like my CPAP (I have mild sleep apnea) now that I've gotten used to it.

I had to have the sleep study :/ It kinda sucked the lady there told me I did fine had no issues... and then the doc with my readout said it was bad and I had to use a cpap before my surgery which was unpleasant.. don't know if I still need it and dont use it... need another sleep study : /
