I have a sleep study coming up this Thursday night. I was told to bring 2 piece PJs but that is it. Can anyone else give me ideas of what to bring. I will be at the hospital from 8pm until 6am for the study then I have to stay at the hospital from then until 10am for some more tests. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I just had my sleep study done. all i needed was my jammies. Since you are going early in the eveining, bring your favorite magazines, maybe a light snack and a bottle of Water. Thats all you really need. I got up in the morning, threw on my clothes and was outta there!! Good luck!

Hi Froggi -

For me, the most important thing that I brought along was my body pillow!!! I never leave home without it and since I would be in a strange place/bed, I wanted to be as comfortable as possible.

The study isn't so bad, really. The staff at my sleep Center were very sweet and even watched TV with me before lights out!

Good luck with yours -

Yeah you can bring as much as you want but i guess it depends on how far you have to drive home. I was close so i threw my clothes on and drove home to shower and get ready for my day. depends on what you are doing and how far away you are.

All I have to say is I am SO GLAD I am done with that whole mess.. with them sticking stuff in my hair, and on my face.. I HARDLY would call it a sleep study, cause I didnt even sleep...

I kept pulling the stuff off my face cause I like to sleep on my stomach.

Good luck.... bring your own pillows. They didnt seem to have enough for me.

The paper says I can shower there...but I am not. I am going to shower before I go and then once I finish my other tests that morning I will go home and shower. :thumbup:

Just some advice Froggi.. I would shower there in the morning. They use a really sticky paste all over your face and even in your hair to stick the electrodes in. For my second sleep study I did it on a weekend and didn't shower until I got home and the feeling was so gross.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
