So I just got my sleep results in and its confirmed that I do have sleep apnea...and I have a little under 4 months before surgery so just wondering finding out I have sleep apnea will slow down the process or affect me getting insurance approval.??

No, I have had sleep apnea for over 20 years now, I use a cpap machine. I have also had a few surgeries since. My bypass will prob. Be between April and june. The only thing they told me was I just need a approval from my sleep doc and cardiologist before surgery saying it was ok. They said it's just a formality. Sleep apnea is one of the co-mobidites insurance companies look for other than diabetes, high blood pressure etc.

Thank you at @@mountainman2292 for your response I'll be getting my cpap machine, is it hard to adjust sleeping with a cpap? Now I'm anxious about that .

Not at all, if you did fine wearing it during your sleep study you will do fine at home. .plus,you will not have all the wires attached to your body lol. I can't even take a nap now without my cpap I am so use to it. I can't wait to no longer needing to have one. Don't be anxious ,you will do fine. If you ever need to ask me any questions please feel free to ask.

I also found out I have sleep apnea during this process. I just got my cpap 8 days ago.

it took me a while to get into the pulmonologist so that was the only delay..and that I have to wear it for 7 to 10 days so they can read the chip inside.

other than that..no delays.

I have to wear it at least 4 hours during the night..I've been getting 6 to 8 hours with it.
