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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
