I'm not sure. I doubt they would make you do another sleep study if yours is already diagnosed and being treated. Do you have a CPAP machine? I think they just want to make sure that the apnea is under control before you have surgery. I don't know if they'd want their pulmonary department to sign on off on that first. Might be a good question to ask. I know they do want me to bring my machine for use in the hospital after surgery to help prevent lung expansion problems. Oh, and facebook.com/michiefisher is how to find me

Will do! I'm down roughly 15 lbs from the start of my liquid diet (which is nuts). I admit that I've slipped maybe 2 times (don't tell Josie LOL), but both times, it was a bite of lean meat, so I didn't derail myself too much. I'm psyched I haven't heard anything about insurance approval, so I'm hoping that no news is good news. Cooper seems to be proceeding as though I'm approved. I have Amerihealth and I've been stalking poor Amanda at the office but I haven't called her in a week or so. I've been good LOL. I'm sure she'll let me know if there's a problem. They've said Amerihealth approval is no problemo and don't anticipate any problems, so I wont! (Also, there's the whole BMI over 40, sleep apnea, hypertension and prediabetes stuff going on too so that helps, I guess) Add me on facebook as well if you'd like. I'm on that every day Micheline

I'm scheduled for sleeve surgery next week on the 13th with Dr. Patel . I can't wait!
