Surgery is scheduled in 2 days... I was giving a cpak machine to use for a mild case of sleep apnea... I HATE IT !!! Maybe used it 12 hours in 3 months. I was told I had to bring it with me the morning of surgery.... they can see how much or if I've used it at all. Does anyone know if this will affect or determine if they will proceed with my surgery ???

I had to do sleep studies for the bariatric program and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I also hate my cpak machine lol. I had my surgery Friday and was told several times to bring it so I did. I had a feeling that if I didn't bring it they would have one ready for me to use. Respiratory therapist hooked it up for me day of surgery and insisted I used it. They had me hooked up to an oxygen level detector? That sounded like a fire alarm going off in my room when I was starting to doze off and my oxygen level went down. Finally I just put the mask on so I could sleep. I don't think they will cancel the surgery if you don't bring it, I just think they will have one there for you to use anyway

Thanks..I needed to hear that [emoji4][emoji4]. and Congratulations on your new journey in life [emoji4]

I would not worry about it. Generally they ask you to bring it because they assume you will use it when you stay overnight. Instead I would spend the next day worrying about how awesome you are for making positive life choices!!

My husband was in the hospital four days due to a complication and had been told to take the CPap. He never was asked to use the CPap, and since the sleeve four years ago he has not needed or used it. He no longer snores since he lost 100 lbs.
