I did not have to do a sleep study and I'm done with everything. In pre-op diet now just waiting for the 12th.

I didn't have a sleep study either. My surgery is April 3rd. I was glad to skip that!

It may depending on the history and whether you have symptoms of sleep apnea.

Be glad! I have zero symptoms and they made me do a home study with sh!tty equipment, and are telling me I have it based on the least scientific process I've ever seen. I have a rant posted here somewhere. Lol



I did this home sleep study to find not too Scientific when you only put a little monitor on your finger lol ... they say severe sleep apnea and I've been given a CPAP machine... mind you I was tested 2012 with mild apnea and I refuse to get a machine back then same test .. lol
I have Kaiser and this is been my record since then 2012 .. they say if I go for an overnight test will probably come out more accurate and I probably would still come up with severe apnea test positive at all .. that is so crazy .. will
they require you to be retested to be approved for surgery??
BTW ..I pretty much been around 40 BMI with both tests ..


I have had to have a sleep study because my iron is extremely low and I was taking the most iron tablets you take they say if you have this you could have stomach cancer so an endoscopy and a colonoscopy lucky no cancer sent me for sleep study.I stop breathing 19 x an hour which is mild but cos I am having surgery I have to use a breathing machine at night and I hate having to use it but they said only until after operation.Then if I don't want to use which I can't wait to give it back.


Nope. No sleep study for me either. I'm glad.

I had experience sleep study before my weight loss surgery because of my sleep apnea

in my childhood years I had EEG makes sure my Brian ok because I had history sezuire at 12 years old..

I had sleep study but it was before I talk to my surgeon so had go to pulmonary doctor and get the reading and get clearance from him tell them it was ok for me to have the surgery and why had go through the sleep study because I had my gallbladder remove back I. August of last year and told me I was at high risk of sleep apnea but when did the test I do not have sleep apnea at all so I don't have go back see my pulmonary doctor until next to do a follow up


3 days post op; never had to complete a sleep study.
