I had a sleep study done. It is to see if you h e sleep apnea which is when u stop breathing in your sleep . They have you stay overnight and hook up a bunch of wires to you and then tell you to sleep ! Ya right you don't sleep much!! Anyways I do have it but my surgeon is ok with it he said they just needed to know so that when I am under they do some things differently not sure what exactly . He also said once I loose the weight it most likely will go away on its own!

Mdfinch I would love that!! Thank you

thanks for the words of encouragement!!! I am having it done in CT my surgeon is Dr tousignant,

because I am afraid to fail. I failed at being able to do this on my own so it scares me alot that i wont be able to do this!!

I am also excited!! But scared too hope I'm doing the right thing!!!!

I have Aetna and they approved me within a couple days of finishing my 3 month nutrition counseling and pre op work up

I am scheduled for may 2 nd! Did all the pre op stuff ( sleep study, upper gi, nutritionist etc...) I only have my appt for medical clearance on April 19th and then sign the consent on April 26 th!!! So excited to finally be so close good luck to everyone

i did a sleep study at the doctors office, they had a seperate place with rooms and beds, found it very hard to sleep. They told me if we wake u up in the middle of the night to wear the cpap then you have sleep apnea bad. They didnt wake me up thought I was all good, but then I get call from doctor saying we want you to do it again this time wearing the mask, well at 600.00 dollars out of my own pocket for this I politely refused, and it was fine with my doc he said most likely your sleep apnea will go away once i lose weight

hair loss! really ?

I have Aetna, they appproved me quick also, less than a week, Surgery is May 2nd!!!!

I am new to this site how do I join the Springsters group u r speaking of?? My surgery is may 2 nd!!!

I am scheduled for may 2 nd and am beginning to panick!! I mean I am so excited but scared to death!
