Moving along

I completed psych and 6m of nutrition appts. Today I met with my surgeons PA and will submit to insurance sometime next week. Insurance will take 3-14 days to approve. Looking to schedule surgery end of may, but I may need to postpone it until end of July (due to my school schedule and vacations). I'm so stressed and excited. Possible sx date of 5/23, but I'm going to Mexico (all inclusive) 6/30. So I'm looking to stall until I finish nursing school in July. So much to think about!

I'm also worried they may not approve me bc I never wear my cpap. Sleep apnea is my qualifying comorbidity.

Question: why don't you wear it?

I wear mine every night. My dr cracks up when I go for follow ups bc my data shows 100% compliance, and he says nobody has 100% [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

He also said that based on that, he knows I'll do well complying with my weight loss surgery guidelines

Just wear your CPAP.

I wish people that need them could hear themselves. My friend has one, doesn't use it. We went on vacation and I had to sit in a hotel room hearing her die over and over in sleep all night. It was horrible.

Wear your CPAP, you are only hurting yourself.
